Product Description
ROYALITE® R6000 thermoplastic sheet is specifically formulated to meet the stringent requirements of AIRBUS ABD0031 and FAR Part 25, Appendix F as it relates to plastics used in the interior of aircraft. R6000 meets the performance criteria for flammability, smoke density and toxicity using methods set forth in ABD0031 and Boeing BMS 8-251.

APPLICATIONS:
The unique formulation of Royalite® R6000 not only allows it to meet the AIRBUS and FAA guidelines, but gives engineers, and thermoformers a material that surpasses all others in its class, in processability and durability. R6000 offers a superior range of physical and mechanical properties over other related materials, and its ease in thermoforming and machining make it this material of choice for such aircraft components as window surrounds, seats, trays, partitions, galley, and lavatory panels.
