SBHPP
a Global Materials, Parts and Solutions provider
a Global Materials, Parts and Solutions provider
a wide variety of products, the ability to affect quality and cost in various stages of the supply chain, the footprint to do that globally, support by a strong material science capability form the basis of SBHPP’s value propositions.
SBHPP, SB-Aero & Vaupell solutions aim to reduce the weight of aircraft interior components, by metal to plastic conversion and innovative low weight molding techniques.
SBHPP solutions increase the passenger experience with critical surface parts, using decorative laminate materials or painted surfaces.
SBHPP’s global services range from material innovation to part assembly, from design to full production, from interior surface to airframe structure.

Integrated Aerospace Solutions & Future Products
The product portfolio of SBHPP spans from raw materials to assembled products (throught SB-Aero and Vaupell Business Units). SBHPP is committed to add more value to customers by taking on more responsibility, offering a tighter cost control and quality assurance.
Interior Solutions in concert with Chemistry
For Aerospace Interior Applications, SB provides materials science and manufacturing knowledge from monomer synthesis, polymerization and compounding, molding or impregnation, up to painting and assembly. Aero interior parts formed out of Sunloid® 4FST PC sheet is a perfect example where both quality and cost are controlled by SB accountability throughout the supply chain.

Aerospace structures
Modern aerospace structures typically require the use of composite materials, advanced multifunctional materials and thin-walled constructions.
SBHPP material portfolio provides strength and structural stabillities to obtain the level of performance required from flight primary and secondary structures.
Uses & applications
Integrated Aerospace Solutions From Molecules To Manufactured Parts
With the increasing volume of both passenger traffic and unit builds, the key trends of fuel economy and lower cost/productivity are driving increased usage of composite materials. SBHPP believes that being able to develop & deliver systems engineered from the chemistry to the assembly is critical to successful implementation of new technology on today’s aircraft. Our experience & capability to develop cost effective solutions at higher volumes for other industries such as Automotive is value SBHPP can add when partnering with Aerospace Engineers.
Global Materials and Parts Supply
As the shift of both traffic & aircraft manufacture continues to move east, SBHPP has the global capability to support new aircraft development and assembly wherever it is needed. From global resin chemistry that can be translated to any region, to composite solutions with multiple resin-fibre options, to finished part assembly.
Below is an overview of the SBHPP solution capability.
FST compliant material
Aerospace interiors
1 Interior molded components
SBHPP-Vaupell has focused on complex assemblies and high-visibility, high-cost resin products such as passenger service units, air grilles, speaker grilles, and window reveals. Vaupell also manufactures seat row markers, literature pockets, stow bin latches, attendant call buttons, leading edge seals, galley face plates, and oxygen boxes and doors. These products are molded out of complex resins for strength, chemical or environmental resistance, flame retardancy, and stability at extreme temperatures.
2 FST Resins and Pre-pregs
SBHPP provides aeronautic industry with various raw materials used for light weight panel construction, such as; Pre-preg FST resins, Honeycomb (HC) resins and Adhesives.
