Kydex® GND Conductive Fire Rated
Sheet Kydex GND is a proprietary acrylic/PVC thermoplastic
sheet that offers a surface resistance of 105 Ohms/square,
while retaining the excellent forming properties of Kydex. Kydex
GND offers more uniform forming with less wall thinning, greater
detail, and significantly greater resistance to a broad range of
corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions. Based on independent
lab testing, it meets the flammability requirements of UL Standard
94 V-0 at 0.125" (3.12mm). Kydex GND is available in black
only.
SUGGESTED USES
• Electronic equipment where protection
against electro-static damage is essential
• Conductive floor mats
• IC containers like trays, storage
bins, boxes, chip carriers, tray dividers, etc.
• Internal electronic equipment or components requiring a
UL 94 V-0 rating
FEATURES
CONDUCTIVE PROPERTIES - Unlike other conductive
sheet grades, Kydex GND retains its conductance even after forming.
SUPERIOR FORMABILITY - For deep or hard to form
parts, Kydex GND outperforms the competitive conductive sheet in
thermoformability.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE - Kydex is very resistant
to a broad range of chemicals, particularly to acids and bases.
RIGIDITY - Kydex GND is very rigid, with a flexural
modulus of 271,000 psi (1868 MPa).
FIRE RATED - Kydex GND meets the requirements
of UL Standard 94 V-0 at 0.125" (3.12mm).
FABRICATION
Kydex GND is easy to form and retains its conductive properties
after forming. Excellent forming properties result in uniform wall
thicknesses and crisp detail, plus easy machining and fabricating
using conventional methods and equipment.
