Mass Transit

For production of high-performance interior components.

KYDEX® sheet is available in specialized grades that meet all performance criteria for flammability 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". It exhibits a broad range of outstanding physical, mechanical, and thermal properties, making it the ideal material from which to form a wide variety of two- and three-dimensional interior components for:

Subway cars
Buses
Railroad passenger cars
Dining coaches
Monorails
Amusement park rides
Locomotive cabins
Dashboards
Seatbacks
Overhead bin components
Ceiling panels
Side wall panels
Enclosures and partitions
Tray tables
Wheel well enclosures
HVAC ducts and vent covers
Window masks and reveals

All conventional thermoforming methods can be used to form parts from KYDEX® sheet for mass transit applications: positive-air pressure, drape, plug assist, vacuum snap-back, and billow forming. Because KYDEX is an especially "forgiving" material, simple molds of wood, epoxy, urethane, and aluminum are adequate. Typically, no pre-drying is required.

KYDEX® sheet offers exceptional resistance to a wide range of concentrated chemicals and solvents, allowing graffiti/spray paint, lipstick, ballpoint pen, felt pen, grease, and grime to be easily removed using harsh cleansers with no staining or fading.

Over 3,500 custom colours are available in multiple surface textures from 0.028" to 0.500" (0.71mm to 12.70mm), enabling you to satisfy both the functional and aesthetic requirements of any mass transit vehicle interior.
