KYDEX®
THERMOPLASTIC SHEET
KYDEX®
thermoplastic sheet is a family of products made by Kleerdex Company,
LLC, offering outstanding thermoformability for high-visibility applications
where flame retardance, durability, impact, and consistent color performance
are required. In applications ranging from a wide range of medical
device enclosures (imaging, diagnostic, hospital beds, etc.), rail
and aircraft interiors (as in folding tray tables and other aircraft
seat components), to kiosk and sign housings and store fixtures, KYDEX®
thermoplastic sheet meets and exceeds designers’ expectations. Go
to: Kydex.com.
With a wide assortment of grades to fulfill various demands for regulatory
compliance and other specification needs, Kleerdex offers a wide range
of standard and custom sheet sizes, colors, decorative effects (granites,
woodgrains, metallics), textures, and gauges from .028” to .500”.
Kleerdex’s Tech support is highly acclaimed. KYDEX® T is often referred
to as the pressure-forming material of choice, with impact resistance
comparable to polycarbonate, unsurpassed wall-thickness distribution,
and great chemical resistance and cleanability. Pressure-forming is
a thermoforming technique which provides a level of sharp detail in
finished parts normally only associated with injection molding, but
with dramatically lower tooling costs. This process lends itself well
to the needs of medical device manufacturers, who especially appreciate
our long experience in award-winning hospital and clinical applications.

 KYDEX®
proprietary thermoplastic sheet for aircraft interior components is available
in a range of high performance grades that satisfies FAA fire retardancy
requirements, and exhibits outstanding physical, mechanical, and thermal
properties. It is also readily thermoformed, fabricated, and machined,
making it the ideal material from which to create a broad variety
of two- and three-dimensional aircraft components including:
- Air ducts
- Armrests
- Bulkhead laminates
- Escape slide pack boards
- Galley parts
- Instrument panels
- Lavatory floor pans
- Life vest shrouds
- Lighting housings
- Molding strips
- Passenger service units
- Side wall panels
- Toilet shrouds
- Tray tables
- Window reveals
KYDEX® thermoplastic sheet products for aircraft interiors
are available in 34 standard colors and over 2000 developed colors,
10 surface textures and thicknesses from .028" to .500" (.71-12.7mm),
enabling you to satisfy both the functional and aesthetic requirements
of any aircraft interior.
Since KYDEX® thermoplastic sheet products are also resistant to a
wide range of concentrated chemicals, they can be cleaned safely and
repeatedly using harsh cleansers with no staining or fading.
RECOMMENDED GRADES:
Super tough, durable KYDEX® 100, a proprietary alloy sheet,
brings new dimensions to thermoformers in: formability, rigidity,
breakage resistance, chemical resistance and fire retardancy. This
high performance thermoplastic sheet is available in a wide range
of standard and customer colors, textures, and sheet sizes.

more information.
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. Unlike
FR-ABS, because KYDEX® T is less hygroscopic, KYDEX® T 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.

information.
KYDEX® 6565 is a proprietary, high performance thermoplastic
sheet that meets all fire retardancy requirements set forth in Federal
Aviation Regulations 25.853 paragraphs (a) and (d) (old (c)) including
low heat release (65/65) in the OSU rate of heat release test. Its
excellent properties make it the ideal material to form two-and-three-dimensional
aircraft components.

more information.
Other recommended grades: KYDEX® 110, KYDEX® 154, KYDEX® 1900, KYDEX®
200, KYDEX® 6185, and KYDEX® 6200.

| ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS: KYDEX® 100AS, KYDEX® GND |
 KYDEX®
conductive sheet products are formulated for manufacturers of electrical and electronic
components and original equipment which require conductive housings,
material handling totes, bins, floor mats, and other related items
to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD). To this end, manufacturers
often utilize metal housings, thermoplastic housings lined with
foil, or thermoplastic housings that contain a conductive additive,
to route potentially harmful currents away from sensitive components
to a ground connection. KYDEX® conductive sheet can offer lower
cost and easier recycling than metal and foil-lined housings, and
superior formability and mechanical properties to other filled thermoplastics.
Unlike many other conductive sheet products, KYDEX® conductive sheet
retains its conductance even after thermoforming or membrane pressing,
making it superior for a broad variety of three-dimensional components
as well as fabricated and laminated products.
RECOMMENDED GRADES:
KYDEX® 100AS, a proprietary alloy sheet, brings new dimensions
to anti-static protective materials in: formability, rigidity, breakage
resistance, and chemical resistance. This sheet is available in
standard and custom gauges from .028" (.71mm) and up, in many distinctive
textures and hundreds of colors. Unlike other anti-static thermoplastic
sheets, KYDEX® 100AS retains its anti-static properties even after
thermoforming.

more information.
KYDEX® GND is a proprietary thermoplastic sheet that offers
a surface resistance of 105 Ohms/square, while retaining the excellent
forming properties of KYDEX®. KYDEX® GND offers more uniform forming
with less wall thinning, greater detail, and significantly greater
resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals and cleaning
solutions.
