Transportation and furnishings

The opf based fireblocker fabrics have widespread use as aircraft seating and other forms of seating in cinemas, theatres, airports and conference centers. It is used by Daimler, Iveco and Scania as a firewall and bonnet liner for turbo diesel trucks, which experience a high temperature environment. 

The high electrical resistance and ability to withstand heat degradation makes a textile braided opf an ideal material for electrical cable insulation in civil and armed forces applications, such as in a submarine, where fire is a special hazard. 

Chopped opf can be incorporated as an asbestos replacement into a phenolic resin to produce friction linings for automotive clutch and brake units.
