About Kydex T|A thermoplastic
acrylic-
PVC alloy sheet. Known for its thermoformability. Heats easily and forms into complex shapes, then holds its shape when cooled. Used for knife sheaths, holsters, aircraft interior panels, medical device housings, and point-of-purchase displays. Machines with standard tooling. Excellent impact resistance and flame retardancy. Compare to
ABS (similar applications, less flame retardant) and
Polycarbonate (higher impact resistance, not as easily thermoformed into thin-gauge parts).
