Low heat release aviation sheet
Introduction
KYDEX® 6565 is a proprietary, high performance thermoplastic sheet with integral colour, specifically formulated to meet the safety needs of the aviation industry.
General
Information
KYDEX® 6565 meets all fire retardancy requirements set forth in Federal Aviation Regulations 25.853 paragraphs INFORMATION (a) and (d) (old (c)) including low heat release (65 / 65) in the OSU rate of heat release test. Its excellent properties make it the ideal material to form two and three dimensional aircraft components.
Suggested
Applications
- Seat parts • Armrests
- APPLICATIONS • Bulkhead laminates • Moulding strips
- Life vest shrouds • Tray tables
- Passenger service units • Kick panels
- Monitor Shrouds
