Navy ships have stringent requirements for flame resistance and low toxicity in materials used in the construction or refurbishment of ships. BGF’s Low Toxic Navy Board Facing fabrics are used extensively to cover bulkheads and passageways and other insulated areas. We provide broad woven fabric and narrow tape using 100% fiberglass material to ensure flame retardance, insulation protection, and durability. Our hullboard fabric, when perforated, allows the thick backing material to absorb sound, thus providing an additional acoustical control benefit.
