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.

Stimulite® honeycomb is fully customizable to any shape while saving weight and space as well
as increasing the cushions’ useful life when compared to traditional solutions. Enhanced comfort
coupled with ventilation, antimicrobial properties and recyclability give both the customer and
end user a high value product.

Supracor’s aerospace rated Stimulite products based on BASF’s Elastollan® thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs)
meet FAA requirements for fire, smoke and toxicity (FAR 25.853) as well as the 14g Dynamic (FAR 25.562)
testing criteria.

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.
