FAA Burn test (foam and materials)

I'm working on a personal project—single Engine Piston/small cabin (Mooney M20C). Regarding foam/materials, does anyone have a good place to source foam that will pass FAA burn test requirements or a place that sells burn test material that will provide certificate? Thank you in advanced.

Last airplane job I did I purchased all the materials from Douglass interior products. Everything they sell comes with burn certs.

Bramport Supply is another one. All of our foams and fabrics come with burn certs (unless it says otherwise, which is rare).

Pretty much anything, from freight to overnight air. Whatever the customer wants to pay for :) We typically do UPS ground unless instructed otherwise. For foam we will roll it up and put it in a box or wrap it in something like Tyvek. We aim to ship same day if the order comes in before like 3:00 PM CT.
Hope that answers your question! Feel free to email at
paul@bramportsupply.com with any other questions.

A real great discussion and I wonder what the life of the spray is on the material. Will it be efffective after 05 years?

Im currently working on a Mooney also and had the customer order the materials that I specified for him. The foam we sourced from Bramport supply and the covering materials from Douglas Interiors. Both offered excellent customer service and were plenty knowledgeable for a beginner FYI.

@Ddedman @Paul @John I had a customer call about a Cessna 172 last night. They are wanting the headliner replaced. From what i see online they are a suspended type with inspection zippers. I found a couple places that sell premade liners but douglas does not. Just curious if anyone has done one of these types or has any insight into best places to get material, what types of glue to use and any certs needed.
Thanks!

From our sister company Aeroblaze: "I've never heard of that, but he can buy material anywhere that sells aerospace materials. Any of our glues work. For certs he'll need Horizontal burns on the final fabricated pieces."
Here's the glue he was referencing:

And here's his company that may help with burn certs:

I bought headliner material from Aircraft Spruce and vinyl and foam from Reliatex. Both provided FAA burn certificate letters. Just let Reliatex know up front that you need this for aircraft and they can help with material and foam choices
