KYDEX® Injection Molding materials are a PVC/PMMA alloy and share the same physical properties as KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet. When parts for aviation interiors are from different sources, realizing visual consistency among materials can be extremely 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 aviation cabins.
KYDEX® 2200IM injection molding resins are available with integral color, and engineered with the same properties as KYDEX® 2200LT Thermoplastic sheet.

Cleanability & Chemical Resistance
KYDEX® Thermoplastics can be cleaned using all CDC recognized aviation-grade disinfectants including quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) such as ammonia or Formula 409®
Testing results confirmed that KYDEX® Thermoplastics:
- are not adversely affected by hospital-grade CDC recognized disinfectants
- perform without loss of surface finish, colour fastness, or degradation of mechanical and physical properties
These chemical reagents can have an adverse effect on competitor surfaces, causing discoloration, brittleness, staining, and product failure. Using the right materials and understanding their compatibility with disinfectants is vital to ensuring a long, functional life.
