High impact fire-rated sheet with premium antimicrobial protection
Introduction
KYDEX® T-ION is a proprietary thermoplastic sheet with built-in antimicrobial protection, KYDEX ION TechnologyTM, that continuously fights the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria on its surface. Strong disinfectants and cleaners will have no effect due to its superior chemical resistance.
General
Information
Since KYDEX® T-ION is less hygroscopic than other thermoplastics, it does not require pre-drying, offers superior INFORMATION durability, more uniform forming with less wall thinning and offers significantly greater resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions. It is available in a wide range of aesthetic choices and is Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc® recognized Std 94 V-0, 5V. Its KYDEX ION Technology™ is integral to the sheet.
Suggested
Applications
- Aircraft Interiors
- APPLICATIONS • Mass Transit Vehicle Interior Components
- Equipment Housings
- Kiosk Housings
- Medical Products
Features
- Antimicrobial protection inhibits the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria on the sheet surface
- Antimicrobial protection is integrated into the sheet
- Antimicrobial protection keeps the surface cleaner between cleanings
- Available in thicknesses from 0.71mm (0.028”) and up
- Easy to form with excellent part definition and deep-draw characteristics
- Recognized by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc® for Std 94 V-0, 5V in all thicknesses (testing pending)
- Form times similar to FR-ABS making it an easy transition from competitive products
