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

• 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
