Arisawa develops halogen-free, antimony-free prepregs and honeycomb panels for aircraftLeveraging its proprietary resin compounding technology cultivated over many years, Arisawa Manufacturing Company has developed cutting-edge prepregs and honeycomb panels that are free from halogen and antimony compounds. The newly developed products meet the stringent fire-resistant standards for aircraft interior materials, while maintaining high mechanical properties for strength and rigidity. This technological breakthrough helps fulfill international environmental regulations and ensure aviation safety. In response to environmental concernsAs environmental awareness has grown significantly in recent years, global regulations on use of chemical substances in products have been tightened. Halogen and antimony compounds have been commonly used as flame retardants in prepregs for aircraft interior panels to satisfy safety standards. But concerns over their negative impact on public health and the environment have prompted worldwide demands for reduction in their use or replacement with alternative compounds. In order to respond to the demands, Arisawa decided to address the challenge – to develop environment-friendly products with a high degree of fire resistance and mechanical properties. Generally, enhancing flame retardancy tends to compromise mechanical properties, but Arisawa has successfully overcome the challenge, leveraging its proprietary compounding technology. Cherishing creative and innovative spirits as part of its corporate culture, Arisawa will continue taking on new challenges in various fields, including aviation.
