AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS

  • ARESTO™

    ARESTO™ is a fire-retardant, flexible polyester solution which has been designed for applications where flammability characteristics must meet standards such as Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Safety Standards FMVSS-302 or Underwriters Laboratories Classification UL 94 HF-1.

  • CLIMATE FLOW™

    Climate Flow™ uses extreme, open-cell reticulated technology in a composite that provides structural stability with excellent compression sets. It offers high airflow, providing superior temperature regulation while maintaining its structure and durability in seating applications.

  • DRI-FAST®

    Dri-Fast® is an open cell product that is uniquely designed to let moisture drain through, so seats will dry faster. Dri-Fast® cushioning "breathes", keeping moisture at bay and reducing the formation of mold.

  • HIGH DENSITY ETHERS

    High Density Ethers (HDE) represent a general family of products that are used in a variety of applications where specific stiffness and/or strength requirements must be met. HDE can be found in diverse range of applications from sanding blocks, vibrations damping in electronics and automotive armrests.

  • HIGH STRENGTH ESTERS

    High Strength Esters are enhanced polyester solutions that exhibit superior tensile strength, tear strength, and load bearing performance.

  • HYFONIC™

    Hyfonic™ is a combustion-modified polyether solution developed to resist hydrolytic degradation and has excellent sound absorbing characteristics.

  • ISOSEAL™

    Isoseal™ is a unique low-pressure water sealing product. Designed to meet stringent automotive applications, Isoseal ™ will seal a 1" hight of water for at least 24 hours when compressed 50%.

  • LOW PERM™

    Low Perm™ is a specially formulated open cell polyether solution that actually seals air. Designed to meet the challenging automotive "Paint Pot" air sealing test, Low Perm™ comes in a range of densities from 1.5 pcf to 2.8 pcf.

  • PROTECTAIR®

    Protectair® is a low density reticulated polyether product with pore sizes that range from 15 to 80 ppi. The product is a low cost alternative to SIF ® Z. Protectair® is used in a number of filtration and medical applications.

  • SAFETY FOAM

    FXI Safety Foam is a reticulated, flexible polyurethane product whose primary usage is as a passive explosion suppression system capable of withstanding multiple explosive events in military and commercial aircraft, race cars, and boats.

  • SIF ® FELT

    SIF ® Felt is a flexible, compressed solution made from a reticulated polyester or polyether open pore product. SIF ® Felt has unusual sound-absorbing properties, excellent permeability, high physical strength, outstanding filtration efficiency, abrasion resistance, and wicking characteristics.

  • SIF ® Z

    SIF ® Z is the premier product in reticulated technology. The chemistry can be stretched for pore size as low as 3 ppi and as fine as 110 ppi, all in a nominal 2 pcf density. The product offers an excellent combination of price and performance that can meet many application requirements.

  • SPECTROSEAL®

    Spectroseal® is an enhanced polyether sealing product designed to replace over-engineered rubber products. Spectroseal® has much higher compression force deflection performance than other gasketing products but is lower in weight.

  • SUPERISOSEAL™

    SuperIsoseal™ is a unique product developed to fit between our standard Isoseal™ products. It is similar to Isoseal™ in its low density, low pressure seal performance but offers an enhanced water seal characteristic – delivering a watertight seal for 24 hours at 3" water head height.

  • SUPERSEAL™

    Superseal™ is the best low pressure water sealing solution offered by FXI. The product will seal a 4" water head height for 24 hours when compressed 50%.

  • SUREFILL®

    Surefill® utilizes a revolutionary barrier composite, attached to a foam core, which eliminates the pin holes which are commonly seen in flame laminated products that are used in pour-in-place (PIP) applications. The proprietary film used in Surefill® is pliable, easy to handle, and simple to load into the PIP molds.

  • TRIM CRAFT™

    Trim Craft™ is a technology which can be utilized for a variety of automotive interior applications such as instrument panels, doors, and consoles as an alternative to traditional spacer fabrics. The three-dimensional stability provided by Trim Craft™ can allow for cleaner, simpler die-cutting and handling processes, thereby reducing the potential for defective parts.

  • VELVE®

    Velve® is a unique polyester product that is reticulated during the manufacturing process. The low density and specially designed chemistry deliver a soft polymer characteristic. Velve® is regularly used in air filtration and humidifier applications.


RAIL AND AIRCRAFT PRODUCTS

  • AEROFONIC®

    AEROFONIC® is a reticulated felted solution. Originally designed for the demanding environments found in the aerospace industry. Felting is a process by which heated platens permanently compress the product to a specified density and thickness.

  • SAFETY FOAM

    FXI Safety Foam is a reticulated, flexible polyurethane product whose primary usage is as a passive explosion suppression system capable of withstanding multiple explosive events in military and commercial aircraft, race cars and boats.

  • SIF® FELT
