Kydex Plastic Sheet Black 12" X 24" X .080"

Product Information

KYDEX® sheet is available in grades that meet flammability standards for building interiors, electrical and electronic devices, aircraft, and mass transit vehicles. Technical Brief 110-A, Technical Brief 111-A, Technical Brief 111-B, Technical Brief 111-C, Technical Brief 111-D, and Technical Brief 111-E, provide details regarding the grades of KYDEX® sheet that meet each of these standards. Does KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet have antifungal and antimicrobial properties? Using standard tools, Kydex® thermoforming sheets can be drilled, vacuum formed, brake formed or punch pressed. Kydex® is a machinable thermoplastic that can be molded to form fit just about any shape imaginable without expensive tools and machinery. Kydex® can reduce the number of individual parts needed in many applications, thereby reducing assembly costs. KYDEX® sheet can be assembled to wood products, metals, and plastics using adhesives, double-sided tapes or mechanical fasteners.

One of the biggest advantages to working with Kydex is its durability. It is a very tough material that will not tear or break easily. It is also moisture resistant, so it will not break down in wet conditions. Kydex is also resistant to many chemicals, so it can be used in applications where other materials would be damaged.

Uploading

Busy medical facilities are challenged with sourcing products that are aesthetically pleasing and at the same time durable, and able to withstand a wide variety of cleaning chemicals.

In comparison to other tactics, Kydex thermoforming is more economical and nearly as easy as manipulating leather or canvas. Most importantly, hobbyists and small business owners know that Kydex materials will long outlast almost any other material on the market. So when people started asking “where to buy Kydex,” we were among the first to answer.

Kydex holster kits run the gamut. From budget plastics made from recycled sheets to brand-new Kydex 100, each maker will prefer something different depending on projects and budgets when they buy Kydex. Known as the “Gold Standard for Thermoforming,” Kydex 100 is the best choice for both beginners trying their hand at Kydex thermoforming or Kydex holster making and those looking for top-quality Kydex holster supplies to entice a knowledgeable customer. It offers formability, rigidity, break, and chemical resistance not known to other grades of Kydex holster materials. It also withstands high temperatures. Another automotive caution is to never leave your Kydex holster on your dashboard or in other extreme heat conditions as it may reach a “working” temperature and deform. Customers have found success creating their own vacuum tables by attaching an aluminum pan with drilled holes to a piece of plywood. A hole is in cut into the plywood to allow a shop vacuum to be inserted. The bottom of the pan (now facing upward) creates a surface the mold is placed on. The vacuum pressure will pull heated Kydex® over and around the placed mold or object.
