It is available in grades to optimize long-term performance, appearance, and cost effectiveness across demanding and diverse end-use applications. • Over 3500 custom colors • Thicknesses from 0.56mm to 12.70mm (0 .022” to 0.500”) • 8 textures • Low minimum order quantities KYDEX sheet is available in a range of standard colors, granite patterns, realistic wood grains and metallics. Custom colors and a diversity of designs are also available to enhance virtually any commercial, retail or institutional styling theme. Specialized grades satisfy require- ments specific to thermoforming, membrane pressing, post forming, brake forming, laminating and miter folding—and fit a broad range of applications ranging from medical equipment housings and aircraft seat parts, to retail store fixtures and commercial furniture components. Impact Resistance No other thermoplastic sheet stands up to impact, scratching, and gouging like KYDEX sheet. Depending on grade, it offers outstanding notched Izod Impact resistance. Due to its high degree of toughness and resilience, KYDEX sheet can also be stretched at room temperature to twice its orig- inal dimension without breaking. Dimensional Stability Low water absorption, extreme formability, hot tear strength and the ability to maintain wall thick- ness give parts made with KYDEX sheet high dimensional stability. Weatherability Certain monolithic grades of KYDEX sheet are formulated for weatherable applications, while other grades employ a weather- able cap sheet (either clear or reverse-printed) that is permanent- ly fused to the KYDEX substrate. Flame Retardancy Depending on grade, KYDEX sheet carries fire ratings of UL 94 V-0 and 5V, UL 746C, FAR 25.853 (a) and (d), BS 476 (Parts 6 and 7), MVSS 302, Class 1/A, and ASTM E-162. Chemical Resistance Sulfuric acid to brake fluid to car- bon tetrachloride, high perform- ance grades of KYDEX thermoplas- tic alloys are more resistant to a wider range of concentrated chem- icals than any other thermoplastic. Cleanability Tough stains, scuffs, and graffiti can be removed from KYDEX surfaces using strong cleansers with no staining, fading, or surface damage. Design Flexibility KYDEX sheet offers unprecedented design and manufacturing flex- ibility since numerous grades are available to provide properties and certified ratings required for specialized applications. An unlimited variety of flat and three-dimensional effects can be achieved since KYDEX sheet can be thermoformed, membrane pressed, laminated, miter folded, post formed, brake formed and machined. This allows each part of multi-component products to be produced using the most efficient technique, yet match all other components in appearance, further expanding application possibilities.

Mass Transit Vehicle, RV and Marine Interior Components KYDEX sheet is available in specialized grades that meet all performance criteria for flam- mability and smoke emission as tested under: ASTM E-662 and ASTM E-162 as described in both the "Recommended Fire Safety Practices for Rail Transit Materials Selection" issued by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration, and the Docket 90- A Federal Transit Administration's "Recommended Fire Safety Practices for Transit Bus and Van Materials Selection." Store Fixtures and Commercial Furniture Flat laminating, membrane press- ing and miter folding with KYDEX sheet in solid colors, granite pat- terns, realistic woodgrains and custom graphic patterns, can pro- duce flat and seamless three- dimensional store fixture and commercial furniture components that look better, last longer and are easier to manufacture than components surfaced with high- pressure laminates or wood veneers, or finished using paint or powder coatings. Medical Products From thermoformed equipment housings to membrane pressed or laminated medical building products to sanitary ceiling panels, specialized grades of KYDEX sheet offer the durability, cleanability, and versatility required to exceed the most demanding medical applications. Equipment Housings Outstanding physical properties, fire ratings, formability, and a wide selection of specialized grades make KYDEX sheet a pre- mier material for high perform- ance equipment housings. Building Products KYDEX sheet meets Class 1/A requirements for applications such as wallcovering, perforated acoustical partitions, and acousti- cal ceiling panels. KYDEX sheet properties make it ideal for use in environmentally-controlled commercial, institutional and industrial buildings, resisting high impact, scuffs, gouges, abrasion and harsh cleansers more effec- tively than paint, wallpaper or vinyl wallcovering. Kiosk Housings Thermoforming, flat laminating, membrane pressing and miter folding with KYDEX sheet in solid colors, granite patterns, realistic woodgrains and custom graphic patterns, can produce flat and seamless three-dimensional kiosk components that withstand extreme abuse in high traffic envi- ronments, and keep looking new over a longer service life. Illuminated Signage Housings Thermoforming of illuminated signage housings can eliminate the high cost of sheet metal fabrica- tion and painting. KYDEX sheet for signage housings is offered in a bi- layer two-color (duplex) version, and as a single-color sheet. The exterior side of duplex sheet is available in any of several standard colors, while the interior side is reflective bright white, eliminating the labor costs and flaking associated with painted sheet metal housings. Exhibits and Displays Flat and three-dimensional compo- nents surfaced with KYDEX sheet withstand the abuse of high traffic environments, resist harsh cleansers and chemicals and over- come the drawbacks of conven- tional surfacing methods. Available with Class 1/A and other fire ratings. Food Processing KYDEX sheet can satisfy NSF requirements while improving the performance of equipment hous- ings, covers and guards, as well as ceiling and wall panels in plants that process meat, poultry and other food/beverage products. Clean Room Walls and Ceilings KYDEX sheet fire-rated ceiling pan- els are approved for use in Class 10 rated clean rooms as tested accord- ing to Federal Standard 209D. The panels also meet Class 1/A fire code requirements (ASTM E-84). Miscellaneous Applications The diversity of mechanical and electrical properties, fire ratings, textures, thicknesses, colors and patterns encompassed by the 29 standard grades—and custom grades—of KYDEX sheet, make it suitable for an extraordinarily diverse range of demanding applications, from gun holsters and channel buoys to hospital beds and ice hockey targets. Applications Laminating and Miter Folding KYDEX® sheet can be laminated to wood, metal, gypsum, rigid foam, and other substrates using commercially available adhesives, and by hot pressing or cold pressing production methods. The result is a protec- tive surface that does not chip, crack, break, or snap like high pressure laminates, and is avail- able in a range of thicknesses to meet anticipated levels of abuse. Depending on the grade, color is integral, eliminating dark edge lines that can be unsightly, especially in heavier gauges and against lighter colors. Wood substrates laminated with KYDEX sheet can also be miter folded to produce seam- less outside corners of cabi- nets, drop-front shelving or table legs—accomplished by routing a V-groove (miter) across the backside of the wood without touching the KYDEX sheet. Both mitered wood edges are then sprayed with adhesive and hinged on the KYDEX sheet to close the groove, forming a seamless outside corner, improving appearance, durability, cleanli- ness, part alignment and struc- tural integrity, while reducing labor cost. Typical applications include: Commercial furniture, both wood and steel Store fixtures and case goods Exhibits and displays Partitions, doors, and panels Virtually any laminated product or surface in high- traffic retail, institutional and commercial interiors KYDEX sheet is easy to saw, die cut, shear, rout, drill, sand, file, mill, and otherwise machine using conventional power tools. It can also be post formed and brake formed (with or without wire heating), as well as heat welded to cre- ate seamless, sanitary corners. Joining can be accomplished using screws, rivets, other common fasteners or commer- cially available adhesives— without the cracking, chipping, or snapping associated with many thermoplastic and thermoset sheet products. The diversity of methods to effectively form, fabricate, machine, and join KYDEX sheet opens limitless application pos- sibilities, both functional and decorative including: Braces, brackets and supports Perforated panels Equipment shrouds and guards Corner guards and crash rails Kick plates and push plates Freight container linings Formed and/or laminated products requiring simple or complex secondary operations PRODUCTION METHODS Thermoforming Membrane Pressing For fast set-up and production of plastic parts, especially large parts in quantities from 500 to several thousand, thermoform- ing is commonly selected over injection molding; tooling costs can be 90 percent lower and parts can be completed two- to three-times more quickly. Vacuum forming and pressure forming both evacuate the sealed air space between the heated plastic and mold; pres- sure forming adds air pressure above the heated sheet to achieve a higher quality finish (sharp edges, undercuts, and other close tolerance details). KYDEX sheet is well established as a premier thermoforming sheet offering numerous processing advan- tages such as extreme formability, hot tear strength, and the ability to maintain uniform wall thickness. Typical applications include: Equipment housings, shrouds, enclosures Vents and grilles Interior components of air- craft, mass transit vehicles, trucks, and marine vessels Commercial and institutional furniture and seating components Hidden and exposed parts such as chutes, braces and equipment guards Whereas thermoforming uses air pressure to draw heated plastic sheet into a mold, mem- brane pressing uses an inflated bladder or "membrane" to physically press heated plastic sheet onto a wood or compos- ite substrate or "core," eliminat- ing the need for molds. Core surfaces can be flat or machined to create three- dimensional contours and seamless edges with com- pound curves since the flexible membrane presses the plastic into recesses and onto all sides, encapsulating all but the bottom core surface (which can be laminated and heat- welded at bottom edges for total encapsulation). The outstanding formability of KYDEX sheet enables it to conform fully to the core, preserving sharp edges and surface detail of three-dimen- sional surfaces, while main- taining uniform wall thickness on high spots, low spots, and sharp corners where other sheet products may "thin out." Typical applications include: Raised panel cabinet doors Table tops and workstation surfaces Corporate logo panels Store fixture components Commercial and institutional furniture and seating Kiosk panels 36 Standard Colors Thicknesses RED 12000 ROOSTER RED 12037 CABERNET 12038 TERRACOTTA 12148 BEIGE 72005 CHOCOLATE 72010 POLAR WHITE 62000 SUNLFLOWER 22158 APRICOT 22182 MYSTIC GREEN 32060 COCOA 72047 ROUGE 72175 STEEL GRAY 52068 PINSTRIPE 52070 LOGO GREEN 32169 KHAKIGRUN 32170 BUOYANT BLUE 42112 ORANGE 22031 SEA GREEN 32077 SNOWFLAKE 62029 CANYON BLUE 42107 CADET BLUE 42000 WILD ORCHID 42369 CALCUTTA BLACK 52000 BLACK 52114 VANILLE SC 62340 IVORY 62015 PEWTER GRAY 52001 DARK GRAY 52002 KYDEX® thermoplastic sheet is available in 36 standard colors (shown) and over 3500 custom-blended colors, as well as custom- matched colors.

This tool has a specific width, which machines multiple sections across the width of the cylinder roll. Points on the engraved cylinder where the tooling sections meet have a faint transition line. These lines leave a faint impression in the sheet surface and are more noticeable in darker coloured sheet. Textures that have tooling marks include P-1 Haircell, P-8 Suede, P-C Level Haircell, P-E Smooth Nap, and P-H Seville. P-3 Velour Matte, P-K Cashmere and P-A Smooth are non-directional patterns that do not show tooling marks from the engraving process. Gloss Level The gloss level of KYDEX® sheet is determined by the process rolls used to texture the sheet. Most texturing rolls produce a low gloss appearance, with the exception of P-A Smooth, which has a higher gloss due to its polished surface. If necessary, a higher gloss can be achieved by adjusting the process conditions of the texturing rolls in all textures except P-H Seville. The level of gloss achievable will be limited according to the process capabilities of each texturing roll. In addition, in achieving a higher gloss level, the texture of the sheet will be less defined and will have a washed out appearance.

Each grade is customized to be suited for your particular application or performance need. KYDEX® sheet is manufactured by SEKIUSI SPI under an ISO 9001 certified quality system and has been satisfying customer needs for over 30 years. KYDEX® sheet is high quality and specialty in nature. They typically should be considered for applications requiring any or all of the following benefits: • Fire Retardancy • High Impact Resistance • Rigidity • Superior Chemical Resistance • Thermoformability General Information KYDEX® sheet is typically not a cost-effective substitute for cheaper thermoplastics such as polyethylene, styrene, or cheap ABS, unless those materials are not performing satisfactorily. KYDEX® sheet can be very competitive and effective as an alternative to painted metal, fire-retardant ABS, Noryl® , Lexan® (polycarbonate), etc. KYDEX® sheet complies with Underwriter’s Laboratory, CSA, Building Code and/or FAA flammability requirements. Because of the high impact resistance of KYDEX® sheet, it has a longer service life and is very durable. The rigidity allows for better feel and/or the ability to downgauge. Its superior chemical resistance allows it to be used in harsh, chemically rich environments. It also makes KYDEX® sheet extremely cleanable because harsh cleaners do not damage the texture or the colour of the material. KYDEX® sheet had excellent thermoforming properties that result in uniform wall thickness and crisp detail. There are a complete range of grades, colours, sheet sizes and textures available to meet the most demanding applications. To choose the grade of KYDEX® sheet that will work best for you, ask yourself a few questions: 1. What are you making? 2. What product are you using now? 3. What specifications or regulatory compliance must you meet? 4. What are your physical and visual performance requirements -- how is the product being used? 5. What is your economic situation? With this information, a SEKISUI SPI salesperson can help you choose the grade that is right for your application.

The slightest amount of moisture content may result in changes in dimensions or in properties such as electrical insulation resistance, dielectric losses, mechanical strength and appearance. The determination of water absorption by a plastic specimen of defined dimensions is carried out by immersion in water for a specified time and at a specified temperature. The measured results are expressed in either milligrams absorbed water or as a percentage increase in weight. Comparison of the water absorption of various plastics is only possible if the test specimens are of identical dimensions and in the same physical state. Test specimens are pre-dried at 55°C (122°F) for 24 hours, cooled to room temperature and weighed, before immersion in water for a specified time and at a specified temperature. Water absorption may be measured • At 23°C (73°F): the specimens are placed in a container with distilled water at 23°C (73°F). After 24 hrs, the specimens are dried and weighed • At 100°C (212°F): the specimens are immersed for 30 minutes in boiling water, cooled for 15 minutes in water at 23°C (73°F) and reweighed • Until saturation: the specimens are immersed in water at 23°C (73°F) until full saturation is reached Water absorption may be expressed as: • The mass of water absorbed • The mass of water absorbed per unit of surface area • A percentage of water absorbed with respect to the mass of the test specimen Water Absorption of KYDEX® sheet As opposed to hygroscopic materials such as ABS, PC, and fiberglass that readily absorbs water, KYDEX® sheet is very hygrophobic (very low water absorption). This is important when these materials are used in Radome applications, which protect enclosed antennas from the environment because the absorption of water can degrade the antenna’s performance by reducing the transparency to radio frequencies and by reducing mechanical properties.

One source of these nutrients come from an additive known as a plasticizer, which in most cases will support microbial growth. Since it does not contain plasticizers, the main source of nutrients is removed and it performs very well when tested for bacterial and fungal growth. KYDEX® sheet was subjected to fungus resistance testing in accordance with ASTM G-21 and bacteria resistance testing in accordance with ASTM G-22, Procedure B. Testing was performed by Truesdail Laboratories, Inc., located in Tustin, California. The KYDEX® sheet samples did not allow any fungus or bacteria growth. The following test results show that KYDEX® sheet performs exceptionally when exposed to bacteria and fungus, without the addition of an antimicrobial additive. I) Fungus Resistance Testing, ASTM G-21 Eighteen day cultures of the following pure culture fungi were harvested, washed and their spore counts adjusted to 1,000.000 (±200,000 per ml). The spore suspensions were combined and sprayed on the samples and controls which were placed on mineral salts agar and placed in the test chamber. The samples, along with controls were incubated for 28 days and examined weekly. *Rating: 0=no growth. 1=traces, 2=light, 3=moderate, 4=heavy growth Conclusion of Fungus Resistance Testing: The KYDEX® sheet samples did not allow any fungus growth (rating of 0).

All rights reserved. KYDEX is a registered trademark of SEKISUI POLYMER INNOVATIONS, LLC. | 091614 Introduction KYDEX® XDWG is a decorative wood grain thermoplastic 3D laminate giving designers the ability to incorporate compound corners, logos, and wire management holes while eliminating unsightly seams and the need for edgebanding typically associated with HPL/TFM surfaces. Its integral colour and high impact resistance minimizes costly maintenance associated with other laminates. General Information High impact, membrane pressable thermoplastic 3D laminate with wood grain design in 0.91mm (0.036”) thickness. While providing great definition it surpasses vinyl overlays, high pressure laminates and melamine in resistance to surface and edge impact. Suggested Applications • Store fixtures • Kiosks • Checkout counters • Cabinetry • Exhibits and displays • Door and drawer fascias • Moldings • Pedestals and stands • Transaction surfaces • Tabletops • Workstations • Logo and trademark panels • Flat laminated panels Features • Tough and durable - resistant to cracking and chipping • Available in a variety of wood grain designs • Matched to popular high pressure laminates and melamines • Resistant to a wide range of chemicals • Abrasion resistant • Fire retardant • Excellent fabrication qualities • Very low moisture absorption • Membrane pressable • Flexibility allows small radius bends Print Width KYDEX® WG 3D Laminate is offered with a range of decorative options via lamination of printed films. SEKISUI SPI purchases these printed films from various suppliers whose production capabilities differ. Among these production variations is the print width. While many film designs print at least 1346.2mm (53”) of coverage, SEKISUI SPI purchases some designs with less print width (due to the manufacturer’s printing capabilities). Please contact your SEKISUI SPI sales or customer service representative for the print width availability of a specific design.
