TAPISUEDE & TAPISUEDE BHC-SS
TapiSuede (TSFRC)
Tapisuede is pliable, inherently stain resistant, washable, and spot cleanable. In short, it is ready to stand up to the rigors of air travel. And as our widest materialat 56", Tapisuede is ideal for use in today's larger aircraft.
TapiSuede™ is made of 100% high-purity recycled polyester which reduces its carbon footprint. The high-tech manufacturing techniques and the use of special water-dispersed polyurethane eliminates the need for harmful organic solvents used to manufacture other man-made suede’s.
TapiSuede Strie (TSSRFRC)
TapiSuede Strie is comprised of the same high quality, pliable fabric as the original TapiSuede, but now with a subtle corduroy pattern and texture. TapiSuede Strie is a patterned suede with the look and feel of a fine-wale corduroy, and with more than 25 colors, there are plenty to choose from.
TapiSuede FLANNELS (TSFLFRC)
This innovative fabric combines the graceful elegance of a classic old world flannel with the high performance of a synthetic suede. Sleek and sophisticated, TapiSuede Flannels have a unique heathered appearance that offers color, depth and color dimension without sacrificing luxury, high performance or the soft hand of the fabric…hence, unlimited design options and applications!
TapiSuede TWO-WAY STRETCH (TSSTFRC)
This convenient, revolutionary stretch fabric effortlessly stretches around curves to give you a tight, seamless fit. This is the ONLY SYNTHETIC TYPE OF SUEDE that has a two-way stretch!
TapiSuede BHC-SS
TapiSuede BHC-SS maintains the same characteristics as the standard TapiSuede, but it also meets FAA flammability requirements for commercial aircraft. And it now features a dynamic new process offering graphics!

*For all materials requiring AN 61 (Heat Release/Smoke Toxicity) requirements, the FAA mandates the product be tested in composite. Our testing reflects BHC-SS tested in composite with a standard core Schneller panel using Aquabind as the adhesive. The panel used is an FAA approved testing panel, and the Aquabind is a water-based adhesive used successfully by many airlines with BHC-SS.
