9815F

FAR Rated High Impact, Thin-Gauge Sheet

A companion product to Boltaron 9815E heavy gauge high-impact 65/65-rated sheet, Boltaron 9815F film/sheet is offered in gauges from .010 to .035 in. (.25 to 89 mm) for thermoforming and two-and three-dimensional laminating of aircraft interior components

Identical to Boltaron 9815E (extruded) heavy-gauge sheet in formulation, properties, fire ratings, lengths, widths and unlimited color availability, Boltaron 9815F (calendered) film/sheet is offered in gauges from .010 to .035 in. (25 to 89 mm) in two surface textures that match, and one that complements, 9815E. Boltaron 9815F meets stringent FAA requirements for flammability, smoke generation and heat release while exhibiting exceptional physical properties. It offers Izod impact resistance of 5.0 ft lbs/in. (265 J/m) — higher than competitive 65/65-compliant sheets rated at 3.0 ft lbs/in. (159 J/m) — significantly improving the durability of thermoformed and laminated aircraft interior components. It also offers other exceptional physical properties, extreme formability and consistent surface quality free of inclusions.

As a result, Boltaron 9815F is specified by the world's leading commercial, military and private aircraft and helicopter manufacturers, carriers and interior refurbishing contractors, for thermoformed, laminated and fabricated interior components of unequalled durability and appearance.

FEATURES

Greater impact resistance than competitive 65/65-compliant PVC/Acrylic film/sheet: 5.0 ft lbs/in. (265 J/m) versus 3.0 ft lbs/in. (159 J/m) Inclusion-free surface quality Three surface textures: Haircell (HC) and Sand (SA) match 9815E textures — Matte/Matte complements 9815 Coarse Matte (CM) texture Unlimited colors with low minimums, no premiums and fast turnaround. Lot-to-lot color consistency allows undetectable field replacements

Suitable for laminating to a variety of flat or three-dimensional metal, FRP and thermoplastic substrates Readily vacuum- or pressureformed: allows the sheet to draw readily to the mold, even into deep recesses and sharp corners, maintaining uniform wall thicknesses Gauges from .010 to .035 in. (.25 to 89 mm), widths to 48 in. (1219 mm) and lengths to 120 in. (3048 mm) with custom sizes on request
