ZOTEK® F OSU F Aviation is categorized as a lightweight, flexible aviation grade of PVDF material, providing a density of 30kg/m3.
A closed-cell Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) foam, ZOTEK® F OSU F Aviation offers a superb combination of extreme weight reduction, high flexibility, and outstanding compliance with strict aviation flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST) and OSU heat release requirements. ZOTEK® F OSU F Aviation is typically selected over higher-density or rigid R-grades when maximum weight savings are required and the material must easily flex, contour, or thermoform into intricate shapes without losing its structural integrity or fire-retardant properties. As such, it is a popular choice for aircraft window reveals, flexible air ducting, seat cushioning components, and lightweight thermal-acoustic insulation blankets throughout commercial aerospace cabins.
At Polyformes, our team of foam experts can provide free, impartial advice on the best material for your specific product, industry, or application. As Zotefoam-approved fabricators, we utilise state-of-the-art in-house conversion equipment to transform sheets of any size into custom foam inserts, dunnage, and custom-engineered packaging solutions.
