KYDEX® T is a proprietary thermoplastic sheet that is cost competitive with fire retardant ABS/PVC(FR-ABS) formulations but with significantly higher impact strength and extensibility. Unlike FR-ABS that is more hygroscopic, KYDEX® T typically does not require pre-drying; offers superior impact; more uniform forming with less wall thinning; and offers significantly greater resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions.
