Kydex® L Laminating Grade Fire Rated Sheet

Kydex L thermoplastic sheet is a very durable, damage resistant surfacing material that has been successfully used in many laminating applications including store fixtures; exhibits; doors; and partitions. Unlike most high pressure laminates, color is integral throughout the sheet. It has excellent durability for easier handling. It is Class I/A rated 0.040" (1.02mm) and thinner) and is listed by Underwriter's Laboratories as UL Std 94 V-0. Notched Izod impact resistance is 15 ft-lbs/in (801 J/m).

SUGGESTED USES

Store fixtures and displays
Exhibits
Service Counters
Doors
• Partitions

FEATURES
Manufacturers and specifiers have selected Kydex sheet for surfacing and laminating applications because of its unique characteristics when compared to traditional laminating materials:

toughness and durability

solid, integral color

chemical resistance

fire retardancy

• excellent fabrication qualities

• resistance to cracking and chipping

• very low moisture absorption

• thermoformability

• flexibility to allow small radius bends

• thicknesses up to 0.320" (8.128mm)

• availability in rollstock 60x.0409" (1.52m x 1.02mm)

Note: Kydex L is a thermoplastic sheet that will expand and contract with temperature fluctuations.

FABRICATION
Kydex L can be thermoformed to produce 3-dimensional parts with excellent detail. It is easy to work and can be drilled, punched, brake formed, or routed using standard metal and/or woodworking equipment. Kydex L is not recommended for use on horizontal surfaces where hot items may be placed such as kitchen countertops and is not recommended for field application to walls as a wallcovering material.
