KYDEX® 7115 LuminaTM
BACK-LIT APPLICATIONS
Lumina™ gives designers the power to craft bespoke experiences using color, imagery, and light. It shapes and refracts light for passenger mood enhancement in areas like galley and bar accents, backlit décor, individual passenger spaces, boarding areas, and more.
KYDEX® KleerdexTM CUSTOM TRANSLUCENTS
Kleerdex™ Custom Translucents are decorative thermoplastics designed for aviation interiors.
Achieve refined cabin architecture using a blend of tactile elements, pattern, and hues
Clear Ambiance
Enhance your brand through enlightened design.
Combine texture, color, and imagery with light to provide passengers a sense of privacy and a brighter, more spacious atmosphere.
Versatile Applications
Ideal for privacy dividers, stowage compartments, monuments, doors, and more.
Flat or formed, Kleerdex™ Custom Translucents are aviation compliant to meet your certification requirements.
Infused Imaging™ puts colour and imagery into thermoplastic material.
Not on it.
Infused Imaging™ is a proprietary process that embeds imagery into thermoplastic material.
Durability is enhanced because it does not chip, fade, or delaminate the way capped and traditionally printed images can.
KYDEX® 5555+SG
KYDEX® T+SG
Developed inside the appLab™, the new KYDEX® surfaceGrip™ (SG) product line is an anti-slip, low gloss material for aviation interiors.
Available with custom color and Infused Imaging™ technology, KYDEX® surfaceGrip™ opens the door to new design possibilities, combining integral color, imagery, and a tactile experience with soft touch texture.
KYDEX® 5555+SG is a proprietary, high performance thermoplastic sheet with a tactile, anti-slip surface. It exceeds flammability and smoke requirements, making it ideal for tray table inlays. The product stands up to harsh disinfectants and resists staining.
ANTIMICROBIAL
Passenger health and safety are at the forefront of the passenger experience, requiring materials that are chemical resistant, antimicrobial, durable, and stain resistant.
KYDEX® Thermoplastics are inherently antimicrobial and available with a range of additional antimicrobial protection options.
KYDEX® ION TechnologyTM and KYDEX® MB products are available with custom color, pattern, and texture.
They are ideal for high touch areas of the aircraft cabin, such as tray tables, seat backs, armrests, IFE bezels, privacy panels, monuments, and lavatory surfaces.
