Lightweight Technical Textiles for Aerospace Logistics
The aerospace and air cargo industries face a complex dual challenge: maximizing fuel efficiency through aggressive weight reduction while adhering to increasingly strict fire-safety regulations. This is particularly critical concerning the bulk air transport of lithium-ion batteries and other highly sensitive electronics.
Fireproof Cargo Covers and ULDs
Hilaturas Arnau engineers lightweight, highly durable recycled PBO and PBI blends that serve as the ultimate foundation for Unit Load Devices (ULDs), cargo container linings, and fireproof pallet covers. By replacing heavy metallic barriers or low-specification fabrics with our advanced textiles, aviation logistics operators can achieve reliable fire containment without adding unnecessary bulk.
Key Technical Advantages:
Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio: PBO fibers offer a tensile strength significantly higher than steel at a fraction of the weight, directly reducing aircraft fuel consumption, emissions, and operational costs.
Airworthiness Fire-Safety: Delivers C4-rated thermal protection capable of containing intense internal fires (such as a lithium battery combustion event) to prevent flames and extreme heat from spreading to the aircraft hold.
Operational Efficiency: Our highly flexible, lightweight textiles allow MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) providers and cargo operators to easily handle containment equipment and maximize payload capacity without compromising absolute safety.
