KYDEX sheet forms to deep draws with low forces\nwhen heated to the upper end of the forming temperature range. Unlike many\nother thermoforming sheets, KYDEX sheet has unusually high resistance to hot\ntearing. Forming Guidelines Oven temperatures should be set differently than\nthe settings used for ABS or FR-ABS. Typical heater settings (percentage\ntimers) are 30% – 50% top heaters and 50% - 70% bottom heaters.. The most\nfrequent problem is trying to heat the sheet too quickly, particularly on the\nprimary surface. Cycle times will vary depending on the oven conditions and\ngrade of KYDEX sheet being formed. When forming KYDEX sheet, it is better to\nrely on the sheet appearance during heating than on fixed cycle times. Forming\ntemperatures – Guidelines: (Sheet should not exceed 204°C (400°F). 165 - 177°C\n(330 - 350°F) for \u0026lt; 1.50mm (0.060\"). 182 - 196°C (360 - 385°F) for 1.50mm to\n3.20mm (0.060\" to 0.125\"). 196 - 204°C (385 - 400°F) for \u0026gt; 3.20mm (0.125\") -\nIdeally the core sheet temperature should be within 10°F of the surface\ntemperature. Sheet Appearance During Heating As KYDEX sheet is heated, the\ninherent stresses in the sheet will relax. Stage I: The heating is marked by\nwide undulations and softening. Stage II: The material will start to form\nsmall ripples (known as oil canning). Stage III: The material will start to\nsmooth out and sag (KYDEX sheet will generally sag less than other\nthermoplastics due to its high melt strength. Stage IV: The ripples will have\nsmoothed out indicating that most stresses have been removed. 10 to 30 seconds\nafterwards the sheet is ready to form.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eP3 Valour Matte textured on one side, smooth on the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eExcellent thermoforming properties, easy to fabricate and machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eNominal Sizing: actual sheets +\/- 18 after saw cutting kerf\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDurable, good impact strength, with abrasion and scratch resistance integral color throughout makes scratches and wear less noticeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eKYDEX is a go to material for thermoforming knife sheaths and gun holsters\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","published_at":"2022-03-18T14:06:13+11:00","created_at":"2022-03-18T14:06:13+11:00","vendor":"Forged Acrylics","type":"Conveyor Belts","tags":["auspowers_batchone"],"price":12400,"price_min":12400,"price_max":12400,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41333505818804,"title":"8x12 \/ 040 2 Pack","option1":"8x12","option2":"040 2 Pack","option3":null,"sku":"B09S3GLG61","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Forged Acrylics Black KYDEX T .040\", 8 x 12 Inch Nominal (2-Pack) 8x12 040 2 Pack - 8x12 \/ 040 2 Pack","public_title":"8x12 \/ 040 2 Pack","options":["8x12","040 2 Pack"],"price":12400,"weight":150,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"5060926860022","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B09S3GLG61.jpg?v=1648546985","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81Kor8ec-8S.jpg?v=1647572773","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/716AdguKDmS.jpg?v=1647572773","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/61OGGi3mkCS.jpg?v=1647572773","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/71zDmeNjxHS.jpg?v=1647572773"],"featured_image":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B09S3GLG61.jpg?v=1648546985","options":["Size","Style"],"media":[{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Forged Acrylics Black KYDEX T .040\", 8 x 12 Inch Nominal (2-Pack) 8x12 040 2 Pack ","id":25344689733812,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":1500,"width":2000,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B09S3GLG61.jpg?v=1648546985"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":1500,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B09S3GLG61.jpg?v=1648546985","width":2000},{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Forged Acrylics Black KYDEX T .040\", 8 x 12 Inch Nominal (2-Pack) 8x12 040 2 Pack ","id":25198533050548,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"width":1600,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81Kor8ec-8S.jpg?v=1647572773"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/81Kor8ec-8S.jpg?v=1647572773","width":1600},{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Forged Acrylics Black KYDEX T .040\", 8 x 12 Inch Nominal (2-Pack) 8x12 040 2 Pack ","id":25198533083316,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"width":1600,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/716AdguKDmS.jpg?v=1647572773"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/716AdguKDmS.jpg?v=1647572773","width":1600},{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Forged Acrylics Black KYDEX T .040\", 8 x 12 Inch Nominal (2-Pack) 8x12 040 2 Pack ","id":25198533116084,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"width":1600,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/61OGGi3mkCS.jpg?v=1647572773"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/61OGGi3mkCS.jpg?v=1647572773","width":1600},{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Forged Acrylics Black KYDEX T .040\", 8 x 12 Inch Nominal (2-Pack) 8x12 040 2 Pack ","id":25198533148852,"position":5,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"width":1600,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/71zDmeNjxHS.jpg?v=1647572773"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1600,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/71zDmeNjxHS.jpg?v=1647572773","width":1600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eForged Acrylics Black KYDEX T .040\", 8 x 12 Inch Nominal (2-Pack)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eKYDEX sheets have excellent forming properties, which results in uniform wall\nthicknesses and crisp detail.
