- Kydex V is a recycled grade of Kydex 100 and Kydex T
- Higher breakage resistance than competitive thermoplastics as measured by the Notched Izod test
- 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
- Great for knife sheaths and gun holsters
Size: Thickness – .118″, Size – 24″ x 48″ | Color: Black, 52114, P3Velour Matte KYDEX V KYDEX V sheet has excellent forming properties, which results in uniform wallthicknesses and crisp detail. KYDEX V sheet forms to deep draws with lowforces when heated to the upper end of the forming temperature range. Unlikemany other thermoforming sheets, KYDEX V sheet has unusually high resistanceto 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 V sheet being formed. – When forming KYDEX V sheet, it is better to rely on the sheet appearance during heating than on fixed cycle times. – Forming temperatures – Guidelines: (Sheet should not exceed 204C (400F). 165 – 177C (330 – 350F) for < 1.50mm (0.060"). 182 - 196C (360 - 385F) for 1.50mm to 3.20mm (0.060" to 0.125"). 196 - 204C (385 - 400F) for > 3.20mm (0.125″) – Ideally the core sheet temperature should be within 10F of the surface temperature. Sheet Appearance During Heating As KYDEX V 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 oilcanning). . Stage III: The material will start to smooth out and sag (KYDEX V sheetwill generally sag less than other thermoplastics due to its high meltstrength. . Stage IV: The ripples will have smoothed out indicating that most stresseshave been removed. 10 to 30 seconds afterwards the sheet is ready to form.
