Aerospace Materials for Seating Components
Aerospace materials for seating components should allow manufactures and airlines to optimize weight and strength characteristics, maximize space utilization and minimize overall size. BASF is committed to providing lightweighting solutions for various components of the seat and its structure. Our continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastics are easy to form and allow design freedom for increased seating comfort while reducing the profile of the seat back. BASF's polyurethane microcellular foams replace many traditional rubber based products to offer weight as well as part complexity savings.
