Kydex® 100 High Impact Fire Rated
Sheet Super
tough, durable Kydex 100 acrylic/PVC 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. It is Underwriter's Laboratories Inc
recognized for UL Std 94 V-0/5V and UL 746C and has 18 ft-lbs/in
(953 J/m) Notched Izod impact resistance.
Suggested Uses
• Housings for equipment such as photocopy machines, instrument
panels, computers, keyboards, telephones, etc.
• Hidden parts for equipment such as vending machines, air
ducts, grilles, etc.
Orthopedic braces
• Medical equipment parts (for example: centrifuge covers,
blood analyzers, etc.)
In-store displays
• Electrical equipment and any components requiring either
UL 94 V-0, 5V or or UL 746C ratings
Features
SUPERIOR FORMABILITY - For
deep or hard to form parts or where good finished detail is required,
Kydex 100 is unsurpassed.
RIGIDITY - Kydex 100 is more rigid than most other
thermoplastics resulting in parts that will deform less when loaded.
BREAKAGE RESISTANCE - With a Notched Izod impact
resistance of 18 ft-lbs/in (953 J/m), Kydex 100 offers unsurpassed
resistance to breakage.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE - Kydex meets the highest
standard for chemical resistance for thermoplastic materials.
FIRE RETARDANCY - Kydex is recognized by Underwriter's
Laboratories Inc. for Standard 94 V-0 and 5V and UL 746C in all
gauges and colors.
Fabrication -
top
Excellent forming properties
result in uniform wall thicknesses and crisp detail, plus easy machining
and fabricating using conventional methods, further expanding finished
part possibilities.
