KYDEX T is a proprietary
thermoplastic sheet that is cost competitive with fire retardant
ABS/PVC (FR ABS) formulations but with significantly higher impact
strength and extensibility.
General Information
Since KYDEX® T is less hygroscopic, unlike FR-ABS, it typically
does not require pre-drying, offers superior impact, more uniform
forming with less wall thinning and offers significantly greater
resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals and cleaning
solutions. It is available in a wide range of aesthetic
choices.
Suggested Applications
- Aircraft Interiors
- Mass Transit Vehicle Interior Components
- Equipment Housings
- Medical Products
- Kiosk Housings
Features
- Substitute for FR-ABS sheet with competitive pricing but superior
cost/performance
- Higher breakage resistance measured by the Notched Izod test than
competitive thermoplastics
- Available in thicknesses from 0.71mm (0.028") and up, in eight
textures, a variety of colors, custom blank sizes and low
minimums
- Among the most rigid of thermoforming materials with a modulus of
elasticity of 2,482 MPa (360,000 psi
- Easy to form with excellent part definition and deep-draw
characteristics
- Recognized by Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc for Std 94 V-0, 5V
in all thicknesses
- Form times similar to FR-ABS making it an easy transition from
competitive products.
