High impact, tinted sheet for backlit panels
Introduction
KYDEX® 5115 is a tinted PVC/PMMA that allows light to pass through for backlit applications. Its high impact strength and excellent chemical resistance makes it a perfect alternative to commonly used materials that normally break and craze from standard wear and cleaning agents.
General
Information
KYDEX® 5115 is designed for backlit panels and accents. Its self-extinguishing characteristics make it compliant to various flammability standards including Class 1/A building code requirements and UL94 V-0. Standard cleaners and disinfectants will not affect KYDEX® 5115, making it an excellent alternative to materials that tend to crack and craze.
