Kydex® 6565 Low Heat Release Aviation
Grade Kydex 6565 is a proprietary, high performance
acrylic/PVC 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. It's excellent properties make
it the ideal material to form two and three dimensional aircraft
components.
SUGGESTED END-USES
• Airducts
• Seat parts
• Bulkhead laminates
• Escape slide packboards
• Gallery Parts
• Instrument panels
• Lavoratory floorplans
• Sidewall panels
• Life vest shrouds
• Window reveal
FEATURES
Kydex 6565 is available in over 200 developed colors, eight
surface textures, and thicknesses from 0.028" (.71mm) and up
enabling you to satisfy both the functional and aesthetic requirements
of any mass transit vehicle interior.
Kydex 6565 is very resistant to a wide range of concentrate chemicals,
and is therefore eat to clean with aggressive cleaners such as Soft
Scrub, Fantastic, and citrus-based cleaners such as Citri Kleen.
Ammoniated cleaners should be avoided since they can leave a residue.
Most importantly, Kydex 6565 meets the stringent requirements of
the FAR 25.853 paragraph (d) (replaces para. c), in all thicknesses
and colors.
FABRICATION
Kydex 6565 forms to deep draws with low forces when heated to
the upper end of the proper forming temperature range. Crisp detail
is achieved and rejects are minimized.
Kydex 6565 sheet can be formed on all standard presses, and cut
on all standard die-cutting machines.
