Weight savings, fuel efficiency, and sustainability are top priorities for airlines and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Enter lightweight Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Foam - an innovative material that has revolutionized the aerospace industry.

PVDF is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer that offers many desirable attributes for aerospace performance. The lightweight attributes of PVDF Foam reduce aircraft weight and fuel consumption, improve engineering and manufacturing costs, and support aviation industry sustainability goals in achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

PVDF Foam is ideal for multiple aerospace solutions, including environmental control system (ECS) ducting, flex hoses, plenums, window seals, and insulation.

PVDF Foam components are easy to install and integrate, and offer rate-enabling attributes that make them an ideal solution for aerospace applications.

Technifab partners with Zotefoams, a pioneer in cellular materials and manufacturer of PVDF Foam. Our close partnership with Zotefoams has advanced Technifab’s PVDF Foam expertise, and we are the premier fabricator of ZOTEK® PVDF Foam today. Together, we’re building lighter aerospace solutions that meet important weight-savings and sustainability goals.
