KYDEX® sheet is an extremely durable thermoplastic alloy extruded to withstand levels of abuse from moderate to extreme. It is available in grades to optimize long-term performance, appearance and cost effectiveness across demanding and diverse end-use applications. KYDEX® sheet is available in a range of standard colors, granite patterns, realistic wood grains and metallics. KYDEX® has these other characteristics: Impact Resistance No other thermoplastic sheet stands up to impact, scratching,and gouging like KYDEX® sheet. Depending on grade, it offers outstanding notched Izod Impact resistance. Due to its high degree of toughness and resilience, KYDEX® sheet can be stretched at room temperature to twice its original dimension without breaking. Dimensional Stability Low water absorption, extreme formability, hot tear strength and the ability to maintain wall thickness give parts made with KYDEX® sheet high dimensional stability. Flame Retardancy Depending on grade, KYDEX® sheet carries fire ratings of UL 94 V-0 and 5V, UL 746C, FAR 25.853 (a) and (d), BS 476 (Parts 6 and 7), MVSS 302, Class 1/A and ASTM E- 162. Chemical Resistance Sulfuric acid to brake fluid to carbon tetrachloride, high performance grades of KYDEX® thermoplastic alloys are more resistant to a wider range of concentrated chemicals than any other thermoplastic. Cleanability Tough stains, scuffs and graffiti can be removed from KYDEX® surfaces using strong cleansers with no staining, fading or surface damage. Design Flexibility KYDEX® sheet offers unprecedented design and manufacturing flexibility since numerous grades are available to provide properties and certified ratings required for specialized applications. An unlimited variety of flat and three-dimensional effects can be achieved since KYDEX® sheet can be thermoformed, membrane pressed, laminated, miter folded, post formed, brake formed and machined. This allows each part of multi-component products to be produced using the most efficient technique, yet match all other components in appearance, furter expanding application possibilites.
