Vertical burn compliant injection molding compound
Introduction
KYDEX® T-IM is a high performance injection molding compound with integral colour engineered with the same properties as KYDEX® T thermoplastic sheet including flame resistance, impact resistance, and chemical resistance.
General
Information
KYDEX® T-IM is designed for injection-molded parts adjacent to KYDEX® thermoplastic sheet parts. This solution is intend- INFORMATION ed to minimize the visual variation between injection molded and thermoformed parts. It meets 12 and 60-second vertical burn requirements outlined in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 25.853 paragraph (a). It is available in a wide range of aesthetic choices and is Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc.® recognized Std 94 V-0, 5V.
