Anker, Devan and Shark Solutions have developed a halogen-free FR carpet for aviation using 100% recycled PVB binder (polyvinyl butyral) sourced from recycled vehicle and construction glass. Anker, a German professional carpet manufacturer, developed the product with Shark Solutions, a Danish cleantech company specialised in PVB sustainable solutions, and Devan Chemicals, a textile innovation company (see pinfa Newsletters n°s 60 and 113). The aviation carpet uses PIN FR back coating, achieving Airbus and Boeing fire safety standards.
