Fiber-Based Material Ready for FAA Approval Process

Barotex has reached a significant milestone by nearing completion of the final round of testing on a variety of protective panels designed for use in commercial and military aircraft. In fact, results have substantially exceeded the expectations of partner companies that participated in the testing. Consequently, they have already filed for FAA approval.

Completion of the FAA approval process is expected in the first quarter of 2008, at which time Barotex will be in the position to offer the aerospace industry a wide range of parts and panels constructed from the Barotex material.

The Barotex fiber based material used in producing these aircraft panels is a specialty fiber technology that is highly disruptive and will soon be the material of choice for myriad aircraft panels and parts currently manufactured from aluminum. CEO of Barotex Technology Corporation, Lilo Beuzieron, comments that "there are three major factors that make the new Barotex fiber based panels exceptionally attractive: they weigh approximately one-third as much as the aluminum panels, are between two and three times stronger, and cost approximately one-third of what is currently being paid for these same panels." barotextechnology.com
