SAFETY precautions determine strict requirements for floor coverings used in long range airlines. Products fitted into aircraft galleys are particularly implicated into these safety precautions.
Highly renowned engineers from Metzeler Technical Rubber Systems GmbH, have developed a product with higher durability to the silicone coverings more commonly until this recent development.
The easily bondable non-slip product is extremely abrasion resistant and the fire protective properties are based on the halogen-free rubber raw material, Levapren, developed by synthetic rubber pioneer Lanxess.
Additionally, rescue equipment and other essentials will not be affected. Levapren entails a low smoke gas density which will enable escape routes to be open for longer should a fire occur.(RJA)
