KYDEX® 100 Technical Data Sheet

High impact fire-rated sheet

Super tough, durable KYDEX® 100, a proprietary alloy sheet, brings new dimensions to thermoformers informability, rigidity, breakage resistance, chemical resistance and fire retardancy.

KYDEX® 100 is available in a wide range of standard and custom colours, textures, and sheet sizes. It is INFORMATION Underwriters Laboratories, Inc® recognized for UL Std 94 V-0, 5V and has 961 J/m (18 ft-lbs/in) Notched Izod impact resistance.

  • Aircraft Interiors • Medical Products
  • APPLICATIONS • Mass Transit Vehicle Interior Components • Miscellaneous Applications
  • Equipment Housings
  • Good for deep or hard to form parts more rigid, parts will deform less when loaded
  • High Notched Izod impact resistance offers unsurpassed resistance to breakage
  • Meets highest standard for chemical resistance for thermoplastic materials
  • Recognized by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc® for Std 94 V-0, 5V in all thicknesses and colours
  • Uniform wall thickness and crisp detail
  • Easy machining and fabricating using conventional methods and equipment
