Introduction 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 and is Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc® 

recognized Std 94 V-0, 5V.

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
