DuPont Tedlar to Showcase Innovative Aircraft Interior Solutions at 2024 Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg

Published on May 25, 2024

DuPont Tedlar will be exhibiting at the 2024 Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) from May 28 to May 30 in Hamburg, Germany. Visit us at booth #6F74 in Hall 6 to explore our renowned solutions for cleanable, durable, customizable, and safe aircraft interiors. We will be joined by other DuPont businesses, including Nomex® and Kevlar®.

Tedlar® is an exceptionally lightweight and long-lasting protective material, crucial for enhancing aircraft performance. It contributes to efficient paneling systems that boost aircraft efficiency and minimize waste. Tedlar® film meets or exceeds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) standards, is made in the USA, and is free of PFAS.

“The proven performance of Tedlar^® film has made it the aircraft industry standard against which other materials are measured,” said Matt Urfali, Vice President Marketing & Sales, DuPont™ Tedlar^®. “We look forward to sharing both the significant history and exciting future of Tedlar^® in aerospace with the attendees at this year’s AIX.”

DuPont™ Tedlar® is excited to collaborate with Isovolta Aviation and Transportation, a premier manufacturer of technical laminates and composite materials, in launching a groundbreaking lightweight decorative foil system for aircraft sidewalls utilizing Tedlar®. This innovative system, called Airdec FW, is substantially lighter than existing alternatives on the market, such as powder coatings.

“The ‘FW’ denotes feather weight, characterizing this new generation of décor films that are 25% lighter yet maintain a diverse and vibrant range of colors, textures, sizes, and adhesives. Crucially, they retain the same application process and are visually indistinguishable from the standard AIRDEC-F1 and AIRDEC-GE series.” said Alexander Segel, Director of Sales Decoratives, Isovolta.
