Specs for Acrylic Kickplates Only

While there are 36 "Standard" colors, we do not require minimum orders only on Black, Brown (chocolate), Gray (pewter gray), Beige, and White (polar white) sheet.

There are 10 textures available. There are also wood grains, fluorecents, and other color styles. Due to the variety of sizes, mounting options, and colors, we produce each plastic kick plate as a custom cut from solid sheet and therefore they are not returnable for any reason.

"Standard" colors, other than the above listed colors are readably available, but minimum order quantities apply. Minimum orders are generally 500 square feet of total surface area. Kick plates other than listed colors and texture are priced by job quote only. Pricing on custom colors as well as minimum order quantities are generally substantially greater.

Kydex ® Offering superior performance in formability, rigidity, impact resistance, fire retardance, and chemical resistance.
T
HIGH IMPACT FIRE-RATED SHEET
General Information
Kydex T is a proprietary acrylic/PVC 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, because Kydex T is less hygroscopic, Kydex T typically does not require pre-drying; offers superior impact resistance (15 ft-lbs/in); more uniform forming with less wall thinning; and offers significantly greater resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions. It is available in a wide range of aesthetic choices and is UL ® recognized Std 94 V-0/5V.

Features
Kydex T is formulated to substitute for FR ABS sheet with competitive pricing but superior cost/performance.

Kydex T has higher breakage resistance as measured by the Notched Izod test than competitive thermoplastics.

Kydex T is available in eight gauges from 0.028" (0.71 mm) and up, in nine textures, a large variety of colors, custom blank sizes, and very low minimums.

Kydex T is among the most rigid of thermoforming materials, with a modulus of elasticity of 360,000 psi.

THERMOFORMABILITY : Kydex T is easy to form with excellent part definition and deep-draw characteristics. It forms with similar forming times to FR-ABS making it easy transition from competitive products.

ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES : Kydex T exhibits a Dielectric Constant of 2.76 @ 1 MHz, 2.53 @800 MHz, and 2.51 @1.9 GMz.

RIPH: KYDEX is endorsed by the Royal Institute of Public Health for conformance to the standard of Hygienic Merit
