KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet is an excellent choice for applications where appearance, toughness, or complex thermoforming is required. It is used for thermoformed equipment housings, airplane, bus and train interior parts, kiosks, medical devices, and POP displays. It maintains excellent part definition and crisp detail along with consistent color throughout that helps hide scratches and wear. KYDEX® Thermoplastics are inherently resistant to microbes and will not promote growth on its surface.
KYDEX® T sheet is often used for the orthotics and prosthetics market and provides rigidity, formability, and wear-resistance. Have KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet cut and machined into fabricated parts for your application. Please ask your Curbell Plastics representative for more information.
