Strategic use of textures for different applications throughout the cabin can elevate passenger mood and experience.
KYDEX® Thermoplastics are available in multiple variations of texture to promote innovative tactile design.
Our classic textures are embossed into the sheet during the extrusion process. Options may vary based on KYDEX® sheet grade, thickness, or width. Texture can be used to disguise scuffs your product may sustain over its lifetime. Speak with your KYDEX® representative for more details.
