Kydex® 107 High Performance Sheet
for NSF Kydex 107 is a proprietary acrylic/PVC thermoplastic
sheet designed for NSF approved applications that offers improved
properties compared to competitive ABS thermoplastic sheet. It is
made using only FDA approved raw materials for quick acceptance
by the National Sanitation Foundation. It is available in limited
colors, but a wide range of textures and sheet sizes.
SUGGESTED END-USES
• Ice makers, vending machines, beverage
dispensers, and other equipment requiring NSF approval
• As a replacement for stainless steel parts
where cost, weight, and/or color variety are important
FEATURES
Kydex 107 is formulated only with FDA approved (under 21CFR)
raw materials to facilitate NSF approval for applications requiring
it.
Kydex 107 has higher breakage resistance as measured by the Notched
Izod test than competitive thermoplastics.
Kydex 107 is available in gauges from 0.028" (.71mm) and up,
eight textures, and custom colors.
FABRICATION
Excellent forming properties result in uniform wall thicknesses
and crisp detail, plus easy machining and fabricating using conventional
methods, further expanding finished part possibilities.
