Fire protection for the aviation and aircraft construction industry

Aircraft are enclosed spaces. If a fire breaks out on board during a flight, flames and smoke will quickly build up, spreading across the entire area in no time. To keep people and property safe, prevention is essential – and within easy reach: thanks to state-of-the-art fire protection technologies and a proven expert by your side to help you stop fires effectively long before things get too hot to handle.

KuhnOdice boasts a long track record of specialist experience in aircraft fire protection and delivers high-quality products for all types of aircraft and aviation facilities. Whether it’s passenger planes, cargo planes or learjets; helicopters, drones, microlight aircraft or advanced air mobility vehicles (AAM) – when it comes to air traffic safety, KuhnOdice will never “make way for leeway”.

Passive fire protection for the aircraft industry: Low weight – high performance

Lighter means more efficient (and eco-friendlier) – this equation also holds for fire protection materials used in aircraft. To ensure that safety in lightweight design never falls by the wayside, we have developed a unique material that covers the specific needs and requirements of aviation engineering: SAERTEX LEO^® COATED FABRIC.

This smart material comes as a non-crimp fabric (NCF) made of glass fibres with an integrated fire protection coating designed to expand in the event of a fire, thus forming a reliable insulating barrier (intumescent effect). Since the glass fibre fabric and the fire protection coating constitute an inseparable whole by design, no pre-installation treatment is required on site. The material is extremely lightweight and, thanks to its excellent deformation properties, it is also flexible in use.

Furthermore, SAERTEX LEO^® COATED FABRIC meets the most stringent fire protection requirements – therefore, it is the fire protection material of choice for composite materials.

Fire protection solutions for alternative energy sources

Alternative energy sources play an ever-greater role also in the aviation and aircraft engineering industry. Whether it’s passenger planes, helicopters, cargo planes, or eVTOL air taxis – safety on board must always be a top priority without exception. Remember that reliable fire protection solutions are also sure to pave the way for the future by propelling technological progress! Based on our long-standing experience, we have developed a range of powerful products and lightweight solutions for battery cases and their covers to effectively counteract thermal runaway events.

Batteries are only as safe as the measures taken to protect them. Comprehensive battery protection requires specialist expertise in tandem with uncompromising commitment – and that is exactly what you will get from us.
