| High impact fire-rated sheet 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 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
- Equipment Housings
- Kiosk Housings
- Mass Transit Vehicle Interior Components
- Medical Products
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 0.71 mm (0.028 in) 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
