AEROSPACE - FIRE BLOCKING
In aerospace manufacturing, safety is non-negotiable. Fire blocking aerospace industrial materials play a critical role in protecting passengers and crew in the event of an emergency. At Bramport Supply Co., we understand that sourcing reliable, regulation-compliant aerospace fire blocking textiles can be complex and time-consuming. That's why we've built our entire business around simplifying this process for fabricators and upholsterers in the aerospace industry.
Why Fire-Blocking Materials Matter in Aerospace Applications
Aircraft interiors face unique challenges when it comes to fire safety. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require that materials used in seats, walls, ceilings, and other cabin components meet stringent flammability standards. Technical textiles that block fire serve as a crucial barrier, slowing flame spread and providing precious seconds for evacuation during an emergency.
Aerospace textiles that are fire blocking must meet or exceed standards such as:
- FAR 25.853 - Flammability requirements for compartment interiors
- FAR 25.856 - Thermal/acoustic insulation materials standards
- OSU 65/65 - Heat release and smoke density testing
- Vertical burn testing - Measuring flame propagation rates
These regulations exist for good reason. The right fire-blocking materials can mean the difference between a contained incident and a catastrophic event.
What Sets Quality Fire-Blocking Textiles Apart
Not all technical textiles that block fire for aerospace are created equal. The most effective fire-blocking technical textiles for aerospace applications share several key characteristics:
Fire-Blocking Fabric Performance Features:
- High-temperature resistance without degradation
- Low smoke generation and toxicity levels
- Consistent performance across temperature ranges
- Durability under repeated stress and wear
- Compatibility with adhesives and fastening systems
Fire-Blocking Aerospace Fabric Compliance & Certification:
- Complete test reports and certifications
- Batch-to-batch consistency
- Traceability documentation
- Regular third-party verification
- Updated compliance with evolving regulations
At Bramport Supply Co., every product in our fire-blocking collection has been rigorously tested and certified. Our ISO 9001:2015 and AS 9100:2016 certifications demonstrate our commitment to quality management systems that meet the aerospace industry's exacting standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes aerospace fire-blocking fabrics different from standard fire-resistant materials?
Aerospace fire-blocking textiles must meet FAA regulations that are significantly more stringent than general commercial standards. They undergo specialized testing for heat release, smoke density, and flame propagation specific to aircraft environments.
How do I know if a fire-blocking fabric is certified for my application?
All our fire-blocking materials come with complete test reports and certifications. We provide documentation showing compliance with relevant FAA regulations, ensuring you have the paperwork needed for your installations.
Can fire-blocking fabrics be used with any adhesive or fastening system?
Compatibility varies by product. We recommend reviewing product specifications and test data to ensure your chosen fire-blocking textile works with your specific installation method. Our team is available to help match materials to your application.
How does Bramport ensure consistent quality across batches?
As an ISO 9001:2015 and AS 9100:2016 certified company, we maintain rigorous quality management systems with third-party audits. This ensures every batch meets the same high standards you depend on.
