KYDEX® Injection Molding materials are a specialty formulated thermoplastic alloy and share the same physical properties as KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet. When parts for medical device housings are from different sources, achieving visual consistency among materials can be difficult.
Because KYDEX® IM materials are specifically engineered to match KYDEX® thermoformed parts, they contribute to the overall seamless aesthetic and are as durable, chemical- and stain- resistant. They are easy to disinfect and are ideal for high traffic areas such as healthcare furniture and medical devices.
KYDEX® T-IM injection molding resins are available with integral colour, and engineered with the same properties as KYDEX® T Thermoplastic sheet.

Cleanability & Chemical Resistance
Aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants are critical in eliminating surface bacteria and fungi to reduce the spread of disease.
Testing results confirmed that KYDEX® Thermoplastics:
- are not adversely affected by the aggressive disinfectants used in hospitals including those recognized by the CDC’s List N for SARS-CoV-2
- perform without loss of surface finish, colour fastness, or degradation of mechanical and physical properties
Using the right materials and understanding their compatibility with disinfectants is vital to ensuring a long, functional life.
