KYDEX® T MB
High impact fire-rated sheet with Microban® Antimicrobial Product Protection
Introduction:
KYDEX® T MB is a thermoplastic sheet that is cost competitive with fire retardant ABS/PVC (FR-ABS) formulations but with significantly higher impact strength and extensibility. Microban® protection is built-in to continuously fight the growth of microbes.
General Information:
KYDEX® T MB is less hygroscopic and typically does not require pre-drying. It offers impact resistance, more uniform forming, less wall thinning and greater resistance to a broad range of chemicals and cleaning solutions. It meets UL Std 94 V-0, 5V.
Suggested Applications:
- Aircraft Interiors
- Mass Transit Vehicle Interior Components
- Equipment Housings
- Medical Products
- Kiosk Housings
Features:
- Meets requirements for UL 94 V, 5V and FAR 25.853a
- Substitute for FR-ABS sheet with competitive pricing but superior cost/performance.
- Higher breakage resistance measured by the Notched Izod test than competitive thermoplastics.
- Available in eight thicknesses from 0.71mm (0.028”) and up, in eight textures, a variety of colours, custom blank sizes and low minimums.
- Among the most rigid of thermoforming materials with a modulus of elasticity of 2,482 MPa (360,000 psi).
- Easy to form with excellent part definition and deep-draw characteristics.
- Recognized by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc® for Std 94 V-0, 5V in all thicknesses.
- Form times similar to FR-ABS making it an easy transition from competitive products.
- Microban® antimicrobial technology inhibits the growth of bacteria that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.
- Microban® technology is built-in to the sheet so it won’t wash or wear away and lasts for the lifetime of the product/sheet.
- Microban® technology keeps the surface cleaner between cleanings.
