Test Results

Bright Lite Structures' patented, low-cost recycled thermoset and thermoplastic solutions enable our components to meet aerospace and rail fire, smoke, toxicity, heat release, HIC and 16g requirements. It avoids weight and strength issues associated with aluminum and phenolic composites, as well as the cost issues associated with traditional thermoplastics. BLS thermoset and thermoplastic solutions also enable it to meet heat and sound insulation requirements.

BLS patented thermoset and thermoplastic technology meets:

• • Aerospace FAR 25.853 for Flammability, Smoke Emission, Toxicity & OSU Heat Release aerospace requirements.
• • EN 45545-2:2014 + A1: 2015 for HL1 and HL2 Hazard Level Classification for rail R1 and R7 requirements.
• • ISO Section 8.3, 1496-2:2018 requirements for intermodal freight containers.
