PE & PVDF Foams: high-performance insulation for aviation

We are Aviation Insulation foam experts, un-rivalled knowhow from decades of foam product development.

Thermal insulation in aircraft construction is a challenging arena: with customers searching for the holy grail of maximum insulation performance at minimum weight.  Naturally there are additional requirements of needing  high dimensional accuracy and resistance to extreme environmental conditions. Wulfmeyer sets standards and is market leader in MP15FR, MP15FR/63 and PVDF machined insulation components, combining manufacturing precision with excellent insulation and a lightweight construction

Intelligently selected high-performance materials for demanding applications.

Our high-performance closed cell foams do not to absorb liquids like other types of aviation insulation materials, delivering a constant weight that will not change with age.  Chemical resistance against aggressive media such as Skydrol 500B guarantees part performance.

Wulfmeyer precision: Uncompromising Dimensional Accuracy

Our aircraft focused manufacturing processes produces foams parts with high dimensional accuracy – ideal for applications in aircraft doors, cargo areas, and pipe and valve systems. We supply the material in sheet formats up to 2000 x 1000 mm and thicknesses from 2 mm to 250 mm – cut accurately to your requirements. We design our non-textile flooring and our adhesive backed tapes with the same precision.

Certified Safety – A Must in Aircraft Manufacturing

It goes without saying that our closed cell foam insulation materials meet all the relevant international aviation standards:

  • FAR 25.856(a), FAR 25.853(a)(1)(ii) amdt.72
  • ABD 0031, AITM 2.0002B, AITM 2.0053
  • AITM 3.0005: Flue gas values well below the limit values
     

Flexible processing – efficient application

MP15FR and MP15FR/63 can be easily manufactured using techniques such as cutting, punching, pressing, thermos-laminating or welding. This leads to maximum design freedom with minimum production effort.

Precision Insulation Solutions for the Aviation Industry

Efficient thermal insulation, minimal weight, maximum durability – Wulfmeyer develops customised pipe insulators for the water supply systems of modern aircraft. Our high-performance PE machined parts guarantee:

precise shaping exactly according to customer requirements

minimal weight for maximum efficiency

Permanent dimensional stability even under extreme conditions

Excellent insulation values for thermal, acoustic and mechanical insulation

Easy installation with hook and loop fasteners (ABS0624) or adhesive tapes

Resistance to mechanical and chemical influences

In accordance with ABS0616, ABS0619 and ABS0623

Our closed-cell, CFC-free polyethylene foam does not absorb moisture, it is resistant to ageing and remains stable even in changing climatic conditions – ideal for the supply and sanitary areas of aircraft.

Insulation bodies for thermal insulation of tube systems

3D foam machined parts – maximum precision for complex structures

Underfloor components such as pumps and drives must be insulated against thermal, acoustic and mechanical inputs stresses. We have mastered this challenge: with high manufacturing complexity coupled with excellent  dimensional accuracy.

Guaranteed fit for every component

Integrated easy maintenance access for easy inspections

Extremely resilient,whilst being flexible and lightweight

We use high-density PVDF foams or flexible PE-foams as needed to ensure optimal results for every application.
