Commercial Aviation Sector
Supporting Leading Manufacturers in the Commercial Aviation Industry
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies advanced thermal and technical textile materials trusted by OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and component manufacturers across the global commercial aviation sector. Our engineered fabrics support lightweighting initiatives, enhance fire protection, improve thermal stability, and help manufacturers meet stringent aerospace standards.
Engineered Textiles Designed for Commercial Aviation Industry
Our portfolio of high-temperature fabrics—including alumina silica cloth, quartz felt, and Belcotex 110 cloth—is engineered to perform reliably in critical environments. These materials are specifically developed to withstand the mechanical, thermal, and chemical demands of aircraft manufacturing and in-service operation.
Typical Fibres used in Commercial Aviation
- Alumina Silica: Suitable for integration into composite layups, insulation panels, heat shields, and engine-adjacent structures.
- Quartz felt: Compatible with resin systems and used in acoustic/thermal insulation, composite tooling, and fire-resistant assemblies.
- Belcotex 110 cloth: A non-respirable, highly innovative, non-irritable staple fibre designed for thermal and fire protection layers.
Performance Advantages
- Exceptional high-temperature resistance (up to 1200°C+ depending on product)
- Low thermal conductivity for enhanced insulation performance
- Lightweight construction to support fuel-efficiency targets
- Dimensional stability under thermal cycling.
- Low smoke, low toxicity, and flame-retardant behaviour
- Compatible with aerospace bonding, laminating, and sealing processes
