Capped wood grain sheet for flat and membrane pressed applications
Introduction
Super tough, durable KYDEX® 152WG sheet brings new dimensions to membrane pressers in: extensibility, rigidity, abrasion resistance and fire retardancy.
General
Information
This high performance thermoplastic sheet is available in several aesthetically pleasing woodgrain patterns; each substrate color is custom matched to compliment the woodgrain cap. It rates Class 1/A when tested according to the ASTM E84, the Steiner Tunnel Test, and V-0 when independently tested to Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.® Std 94 testing
Suggested
Applications
- Exhibits & Displays
- Kiosk Housings
- Miscellaneous Applications
- Store Fixture Components
- Contract Furniture Components
Features
- More rigid than most thermoplastics so parts will deform less when loaded
- Outstanding resistance to breakage
- Superior scratch and abrasion resistance as evidenced by Hoffman Scratch and Taber Abrasion tests
- Substrate of complimentary color camouflages gouges
- Rated Class 1/A according to ASTM E84 Tunnel Test in independent laboratory testing (thicknesses less than 1.00mm (0.040”))
- Rated V-0 in all thicknesses and colors when independently tested to Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc.® Standard 94
- Available in 13 popular wood grain patterns
Print Width
KYDEX® 152WG is offered with a range of decorative options via lamination of printed films. KYDEX®, LLC purchases these printed films from various suppliers whose production capabilities differ. Among these production variations is the print width. While many film designs print at least 1346.2mm (53″) of coverage, KYDEX® purchases some designs with less print width (due to the manufacturer’s printing capabilities). Please contact your KYDEX® sales or customer service representative for the print width availability of a specific design.
