INSULATION COVER FILMS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY
DAFLITE cover films incorporate the highest quality materials into extremely light weight fabrics used as flame-retarded moisture barrier fabrics in the thermal and acoustic insulation installed in commercial and military aircraft, ships, and other applications that require protection from harsh environments. The table below shows typical materials that are used in these films, and the construction can be manipulated to provide a product that meets your company’s specific requirements.
