supracor’s stimulite® honeycomb technology

VIP COMFORT FOR ALL CLASSES

Stimulite is a flexible form of aerospace honeycomb that is lightweight,

resilient and has “memory;” its cellular matrix is over 90% open space.

Its optimum strength-to-weight advantages allow Stimulite to provide

uniform weight distribution and support at a fraction of the thickness

of conventional foam cushions.

Unlike foam, Stimulite is anisotropic having multiple degrees of resis-

tance (in its length, width and thickness) which enables it to contour

and self adjust to any shape. When sitting on a Stimulite cushion,

the cells flex and radiate outward surrounding the anatomy, providing

a unique level of comfort.

Perforations in the cell walls circulate air and evaporate moisture creat-

ing the ideal microclimate for long term sitting comfort. And to further

promote well being, the cells flex with movement for a massaging effect

while their “footprint” enhances blood flow.

Made from polyether-based thermoplastic urethane, Stimulite has ex-

cellent hydrolytic stability and will not absorb moisture over time as

do many foam products. Stimulite is certified by Boeing and meets all

flammability requirements. A highly resilient and durable material,

Stimulite absorbs shock, is washable and 100% recyclable.

Stimulite® honeycomb is available as a single layer or double layer which is fused without adhesives. Stiffness

can vary from soft to firm and regional stiffness, such as a softer section under the legs can be designed into

the cushion. Stimulite will contour to any shape and can be engineered with custom contours and profiles.

Enhanced comfort coupled with ventilation, antimicrobial propertiesand recyclability give both the customer and end user a high value product.

For more than twenty years, Stimulite has been a leading technology in medicalsupport surfaces for pressure sore prevention. Its high performance is recognizedby the U.S. military where Stimulite is the specified ejection seat cushion for theF-18 Hornet fighter jets and multiple types of rotorcraft, including the H60 BlackHawk helicopter and V22 Osprey. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 747-800 longrange aircraft feature Stimulite mattresses in the crew rest and the technology isutilized in VIP business jet seating.

Supracor is the originator of fusion-bonded honeycomb technology, a flexible formof aerospace honeycomb utilized in products that promote the health and safetyof people and animals.

A versatile, engineered material, Supracor’s shock-absorbing honeycomb can befound in high-performance applications such as bullet-proof vests, sports protec-tive equipment and bumpers for amusement park rides.

Supracor’s products are sustainably made in California’s Silicon Valley fromdurable materials that are non-toxic and completely recyclable.
