Comfort for body and mind
As the demand for air travel increases, so does the demand for safe and economic textiles
Air travel has risen by more than 35% over the last 10 years and has not peaked yet. This is due to the rapidly increasing cost of other means of transport. On the other hand, the passenger is increasingly wary about what they receive in return for the money spent on a flight ticket - both in terms of service and of the environment. Trevira takes this wariness seriously. Trevira CS fabrics have many advantages
compared to fabrics made from natural fibres, not only because of their flame retardant properties, but also their colour brilliance and anti-abrasion qualities, not to mention their breathability. Trevira CS fabrics keep their good appearance throughout their entire lifetime. Quality will not decrease, even after numerous washing cycles. All the specified properties remain unchanged. In the airline industry, where looks and performance have to meet high requirements, these are important advantages. The demands on airline seating are very high, since the seats are intensively used and have to fulfil stringent specifications. Trevira CS fabrics meet all important flammability standards for textiles in the aviation industry. They are inherently flame retardant, meaning that there is no need for additional surface treatment of the fabric or yarn and they show excellent durability. Whenever hygienic standards in aircraft need
improvement, Trevira CS Bioactive fabrics are an excellent choice. Because aircraft seats are used intensively by many people, the passenger will never know who was on the seat previously and from which part of the world the aircraft has come. Trevira CS Bioactive fabrics have a permanent antimicrobial effect and prevent any odours or growth of bacteria, so that they provide greater safety against infections. This
adds to all the other advantages of Trevira CS. These properties remain, even after 100 washing cycles. A minimum proportion of 50% antimicrobial flame retardant yarns in the textiles guarantee the full antimicrobial effect. Trevira CS Bioactive fabrics satisfy all relevant and important international fire protection standards. Another clear advantage of Trevira CS fabrics is that they can be easily reproduced, with almost 99% precision. This applies to both weight and colour match. Colours in other fibres or in blends, such as wool, cotton or blends with artificial fibres, are difficult to copy with this exactness. With fabrics made from permanently flame retardant Trevira fibres and yarns, any desired colour is possible and can be accurately reproduced. Further factors that must be taken into account are their excellent flame retardant behaviour, high abrasion qualities and the enormous advantage that comes with the ability to remove stains easily with water. The possibility of washing instead of expensive dry- cleaning helps reduce costs. More and more airlines use the advantages of Trevira CS fabrics in their cabin interiors in order to offer their passengers the best material available in the industry. Trevira continually monitors its products in
order to ensure continuing high quality. Any improvement as required is always guided by their own laboratory and subjected to stringent tests before its clearance to the industry. There are many examples of airlines that have moved from conventional materials to Trevira CS fabrics. These include for instance Turkish Airlines, Transaero, Aero Gaviota, Transavia and Aeroflot, who have all used Trevira CS for seat covers, including in the luxury classes. Over time the benefits have repaid the investment.
