Sheet for flat lamination and membrane pressed applications with antimicrobial protection
Introduction
KYDEX® XD MB is a thermoplastic 3D laminate giving designers the ability to incorporate compound corners, logos, and wire management holes while eliminating unsightly seams and the need for edgebanding typically associated with HPL/TFM surfaces. Its integral colour and superior impact resistance minimizes costly maintenance associated with other laminates. Antimicrobial protection is built-in to continuously fight the growth of microbes.
General
Information
Extreme durability (XD), superior impact, membrane pressable thermoplastic 3D laminate with integral color in 0.76mm-1.02mm (0.030”-0.040”) thickness. While providing good definition it surpasses vinyl overlays, high pressure laminates and melamine in resistance to surface and edge impact.
