Segments in Aerospace & Defense

The segments that make up this market, and where our colour and additive solutions earn their place.

Cabin Interiors

Covers Interior Wall & Ceiling Panels, Tray Tables, Seat Components and Air Ducts within Aerospace & Defense. What matters here: high-jetness opacity and carbon-black UV protection (light-blocking, weatherability). Typically carried on PEI, PC, PPSU and PC/ABS.

Defense & Protective

Covers Ballistic Panels, Helmets and Protective Casings within Aerospace & Defense. What matters here: high-jetness opacity and carbon-black UV protection (light-blocking, weatherability). Typically carried on ABS, PC, PC/ABS and UHMWPE.

Electrical & Lighting

Covers Connectors, Lighting Lenses and Cable Insulation within Aerospace & Defense. What matters here: tiO₂ opacity, whiteness and light reflection / surface coverage. Typically carried on PA66, PPS, PC and PMMA.

Structural & Brackets

Covers Equipment Housings, Brackets & Clips and Ducting within Aerospace & Defense. What matters here: high-jetness opacity and carbon-black UV protection (light-blocking, weatherability). Typically carried on PA6, PA66, ABS and PC/ABS.
