Ozone Resistance of Aircraft Interior Materials

The technology of ozone sanitation of aircraft cabins was proposed. Tests of ozone resistance of aircraft interior materials were carried out. Influence of ozone on physical and mechanical properties of tested materials was estimated in order to make a further decision on admissibility of periodic use of ozone as a disinfectant in aircraft cabin. Dynamics of interaction between ozone and interior materials was also studied.
