Pyropel® protects people from smoke and toxic fumes. Low smoke, non-burning, non-melting Pyropel does not burn, melt or emit toxic fumes during thermal degradation. It is ideal for environments where you do not want smoke to be generated from a fire. Pyropel materials meet or exceed all FAA requirement for cabin interiors. Used alone or in composite panels, Pyropel will enhance the performance of interior components.

Extended Temperature Performance
-320°F to +550°F
Pyropel properties remain stable through a wide range of temperature because of the amorphous chemical structure of the material. This wide temperature range enables Pyropel to perform in a wide variety of commercial, military and space applications.
Applications Include:
- Commercial Aircraft Ducting
- Seating Components
- Composite Panels
- Oxygen Systems
- Space Station Moisture Control and Filtration
- Commercial and Military Helicopter Insulation
