KYDEX Thermoplastic Sheet

KYDEX® thermoplastic sheet

is manufactured from an acrylic / PVC alloy that has some very unique characteristics. Tough, nonporous, noncorrosive, chemical resistant, fire retardant and thermoformable. KYDEX® sheet has very good abrasion resistance and virtually no moisture absorption.

Material is normally 48" x 96". Thickness runs from .028" to .500" thick. Roll stock is available in the thinner grades. Several different surface patterns are available.
General Information About KYDEX® Sheet:

The KYDEX® name is a trademark of the Kleerdex Company for their proprietary thermoplastic. Each grade is custom suited for your particular application or performance need.

KYDEX® Sheet

is manufactured by Kleerdex Company under an ISO 9002 certified quality system and has been satisfying customer needs for over 30 years.

KYDEX® Sheet is high quality and specialty in nature. They typically should be considered for applications requiring any or all of the following benefits:

• Fire Retardancy


• High Impact Resistance


• Rigidity


• Superior Chemical Resistance


• Thermoformability

KYDEX® Sheet is typically not a cost-effective substitute for cheaper thermoplastics such as polyethylene, styrene, or cheap ABS, unless those materials are not performing satisfactorily. KYDEX® Sheet can be very competitive and effective as an alternative to painted metal, fire-retardant ABS, Noryl®, Lexan® (polycarbonate), etc.

KYDEX® Sheet complies with Underwriter’s Laboratory, CSA, Building Code and / or FAA flammability requirements. Because of the high impact resistance of KYDEX® Sheet, it has a longer in service life and is very durable. The rigidity allows for a better feel and /or the ability to downgauge. Its superior chemical resistance allows it to be used in harsh, chemically rich environments. It also makes KYDEX® Sheet extremely cleanable because harsh cleaners do not damage the texture or the color of the material. KYDEX® Sheet has excellent forming properties that result in uniform wall thicknesses and crisp detail.

There are a complete range of grades, colors, sheet sizes and textures available to meet the most demanding applications. To choose the grade of the KYDEX®Sheet that will work best for you, ask yourself a few questions:
