Polyonics unveils material for aerospace applications

Polyonics has launched its XF-603 flame retardant material which is designed to work in avionics, aerospace and military applications. The company says the material offers an alternative to Tedlar, which is commonly used in the aerospace industry. 

XF-603 material is intended to be used in harsh environments, including applications that require materials that will not propagate a flame. Polyonics combines special coatings and halogen free, flame retardant technologies with the high temperature resistance of polyimide film to provide a durable label material that adheres to a wide range of industry standards.  

XF-603 is coated with a high opacity, gloss white topcoat designed for flexographic and thermal transfer printing. Barcodes, graphics and text information printed with the proper inks or thermal ribbon will withstand the high temperatures, harsh chemicals and solvents, says the company. A list of halogen free ribbons qualified on the XF-603 is available on the Polyonics website. 

XF-603 is suitable for tracking, instructional, warning and component identification labels. The material can be used virtually anywhere a dimensionally stable, flame retardant label or ID mark is required.
