Product Description

KYDEX
KYDEX sheet has excellent forming properties, which results in uniform wall thicknesses and crisp detail. KYDEX sheet forms to deep draws with low forces when heated to the upper end of the forming temperature range. Unlike many other thermoforming sheets, KYDEX sheet has unusually high resistance to hot tearing.

Forming Guidelines
- Oven temperatures should be set differently than the settings used for ABS or FR-ABS.

- Typical heater settings (percentage timers) are 30% – 50% top heaters and 50% - 70% bottom heaters.
- The most frequent problem is trying to heat the sheet too quickly, particularly on the primary surface.
- Cycle times will vary depending on the oven conditions and grade of KYDEX sheet being formed.
- When forming KYDEX sheet, it is better to rely on the sheet appearance during heating than on fixed cycle times.
- Forming temperatures – Guidelines: (Sheet should not exceed 204°C (400°F).

165 - 177°C (330 - 350°F) for <1.50mm (0.060").
182 - 196°C (360 - 385°F) for 1.50mm to 3.20mm (0.060" to 0.125").
196 - 204°C (385 - 400°F) for > 3.20mm (0.125")

- Ideally the core sheet temperature should be within 10°F of the surface temperature.

Sheet Appearance During Heating
As KYDEX sheet is heated, the inherent stresses in the sheet will relax.

Stage I: The heating is marked by wide undulations and softening.

Stage II: The material will start to form small ripples (known as oil canning). .

Stage III: The material will start to smooth out and sag (KYDEX sheet will generally sag less than other thermoplastics due to its high melt strength. .

Stage IV: The ripples will have smoothed out indicating that most stresses have been removed. 10 to 30 seconds afterwards the sheet is ready to form.

Perfect for making a barrier guard for my truck ramps.

Perfect for making a barrier guard for my truck ramps.
Heavy duty and perfect for my purpose. I used this heavy duty kydex to make a guard for my truck ramps; so, the edges of the ramp covers, wouldn't scratch my tailgate. Fyi, I have never worked with kydex before. I used a heat gun and welding gloves to form the the edges.

5.0 out of 5 stars DIY Bottom Bracket protectors TOUGH AS NAILS!

The sheets cut easily with power tools and molds with minimal effort with a heat gun. They made very light weight and tough bottom bracket protectors for my carbon MTB frames. If you want to cut with sheers and mold with a hair dryer I highly recommend buying the thinner version all of it is extremely tough when cooled.

Like gold for molding customs products or holsters. Even great at plastics repair. Superglued to other plastics well too!

Actually heats up and sets as advertised. Good stuff. Only take about 10 seconds to heat up with a heat gun on low, then you have about 15 seconds or so to shape it.
