Kydex Sheet - KYDEX® T, Haircell P1

KYDEX® T is the most widely specified grade in the KYDEX line — a fire-rated acrylic/PVC alloy thermoplastic engineered for the combination of impact strength, deep-draw formability, and flame performance that regulated interior work demands. It forms at relatively low temperatures with excellent detail reproduction and minimal thinning in deep draws, holds tight radii without cracking, and resists the gouging and impact damage that would destroy a brittle sheet. The P1 Haircell surface is a fine, non-directional grain embossed into the sheet during manufacture, hiding scuffs and fingerprints and giving parts a finished appearance with no painting or laminating — and because color runs through the sheet, wear does not expose a contrasting substrate.

KYDEX T meets UL 94 V-0 and 94 5V flammability requirements and is the standard specification across aircraft and mass transit interiors, medical and diagnostic equipment housings, business machine and electronics enclosures, laboratory and institutional casework, security and detention fixtures, orthotic and prosthetic work, and knife and equipment sheaths. It cuts, routers, and drills cleanly on standard shop equipment, bonds with solvent cement and structural adhesives, and thermoforms with conventional techniques and minimal pre-drying. Commonly stocked in 48" x 96" sheets across a wide gauge range in Sekisui's standard colors, with Polar White 62000 and Calcutta Black 52000 the highest-volume choices. Keep the protective masking on the textured face through fabrication, since the Haircell grain holds shop debris more readily than a smooth surface.
