en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cambium's subsidiary SHD Composites announced that it will supply its new FR308 prepreg for the EcoSuite aircraft seat project. This material is a resin system compliant with flammability, smoke emission, and toxicity (FST) standards, specifically designed for aircraft interiors. The FR308 prepreg is derived from waste streams from sugarcane production. Compared to traditional phenolic prepregs, it uses 300 g/m² glass fiber reinforcement and is free of formaldehyde, phenol, and organic solvents. Through detailed lifecycle analysis, the material's carbon footprint is significantly reduced, covering the entire process from raw material sourcing to transportation.

The EcoSuite project brings together Safran Seats GB, the UK Department for Business and Trade, the Aerospace Technology Institute, Innovate UK, and several UK industrial and academic partners, aiming to develop high-performance, environmentally friendly next-generation aircraft seats. At the 2025 Paris Air Show, the project received funding from the ATI Programme. This marks the first direct investment in the aircraft seating sector, strengthening UK aerospace development and aligning with ATI's "Zero Target" strategy for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
