Galaxy FoamTM passes the following flammability standards. Other standards not listed below are also applicable. Contact us for details.
- California Technical Bulletin 117
- 14 CFR (FAR) 25.853(a), Vertical Burn (except for in 0.125")
- 14 CFR (FAR) 25.853(c), Oil Burn for Seat Cushions
- FMVSS-302 (Automotive Flammability)
|
This product greatly exceeds automotive flammability standards. |

• This product is acceptable for use in all types aircraft and rotorcraft, except for in 0.125". • Can pass the 14 CFR 25.853(c) Oil Burn for Seat Cushion without a fire blocking layer when paired with a suitable dress cover. (Note: A dress cover passing 25.853(a) does not necessarily mean it will perform well during the Oil Burn test). • Use of fireblocking fabric can greatly increase cushion performance during testing. |

Aerospace-Grade Seat Cushion Foam
For seat cushion applications where fire performance is critical, the right foam can simplify both compliance and construction. Bramport Galaxy Foam is a graphite-based polyurethane foam engineered to meet the stringent fire testing requirements of the aerospace industry, giving fabricators a dependable option for demanding interior work.
Please note: Galaxy Foam plain rolls will be discontinued and gradually phased out in 2026. As stock of listed grades and thicknesses sells out, it may not be replenished. Please see our DAX Foam for another commonly used graphite-polyurethane foam until an alternative is stocked; GXY25 foam with scrim will continue to be stocked.
Galaxy Foam Built for Performance
Galaxy Foam is capable of passing the FAR 25.853(c) oil burn test without the use of a fireblock layer; a meaningful advantage for seat cushion construction. It offers a cost-effective alternative to DAX Foam for certain installations, though it is not a direct replacement.
Key Benefits
- Graphite-based polyurethane foam built for aerospace fire testing requirements
- Capable of passing FAR 25.853(c) oil burn without a fireblock layer
- A cost-effective option for certain installations
- Available in multiple grades and firmness levels
Where It Performs Best
Galaxy Foams serve a range of transportation interior needs:
- Aircraft and rotorcraft seat cushions, except in 0.125" thickness
- Automotive interiors, where it greatly exceeds flammability standards
- Marine interiors, when paired with a waterproof barrier, since it is not water resistant
