Kydex® 150 Class I/A Rated Thermoplastic Sheet
Kydex® 150 Class I/A Rated Thermoplastic Sheet – Kydex 150 is a proprietary acrylic/PVC thermoplastic sheet that is used for laminating and thermoforming applications requiring a Class I/A rating. Kydex 150 meets Class I/A building code ratings up to and including 0.060″ (1.52mm), Class II/B building codes up to and including 0.093″ (2.36mm), and is UL listed.
SUGGESTED USES
Kydex 150 sheet can be used in both flat sheet and thermoformed sheet applications such as:
• Interior Ductwork and Chutes
• Laboratory Hoods
• Shower / Tub Shrouds
• Acoustical Applications
• Decorative Ceilingss
• Abuse Resistant Surfacing for Counters, Exhibits, Partitions, Doors, etc.
FEATURES
• Kydex 150 is available in standard gauges from 0.028″ to 0.093″ (.71-2.36mm), nine textures, a large variety of colors – including custom color matching, and custom blank sizes.
• Kydex 150 sheet is more resistant to a wider range of concentrated chemicals than any other thermoplastic. Its superior chemical resistance allows for excellent cleanability because stronger cleaning agents can be used with no discoloration or surface damage to the material.
