Kydex P-1 Black 2440 x 1220 x 2mm

Kydex T a thermoplastic sheet that is cost competitive with fire retardant ABS/PVC (FR-ABS) formulations but with significantly higher impact strength and extensibility.

Since Kydex T is less hygroscopic, unlike FR-ABS, it typically does not require pre-drying, offers superior impact, more uniform forming with less 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 and is UL recognised to UL-94 V0.

One of the great features of Kydex is the ability to easily make protectors/covers that a moulded to fit a shape very closely.  This type of forming can be done using vacuum equipment or simply with a heat gun and some clamps.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

• Safety Covers
• Electrical / Flame barriers
• Replace ABS/PVC sheets materials.
• Aircraft Interior
• Mass Transit Vehicle Interior Components
• Equipment Housings
• Medical Products
• Kiosk Housings.

MAIN 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
• Among the most rigid of thermoforming materials with a modulus of elasticity of 2482 MPa
• East to form with excellent part definition and deep draw characteristics
• Recognised by Underwriters Laboratories for Standard 94 V-0, 5V in all thicknesses
• Form times similar to FR-ABS making it an easy transition from competitive products.
• Endorsed by the Royal Institute of Public Health for conformance to the standard of Hygienic Merit.
