About this deal

Kydex is a versatile material that can be used for a variety of applications. It is strong, durable, and easy to work with. Kydex can be cut with a variety of tools, but a few basics will get you started. In this section, we will cover how to cut Kydex with a few different tools.

Tough stains, scuffs, and graffiti can be removed from KYDEX® surfaces using strong cleansers with no staining, fading, or surface damage. By following these tips, you can ensure that you’ll get professional results every time you cut Kydex with your new cutting jig. Although Kydex® may seem firm and hardened sooner, at least 10 hours should be allowed for cooling. Technical Brief 150-A, Technical Brief 150-B, Technical Brief 150-C, Technical Brief 150-D, and Technical Brief 150-Eprovide detailed information on the correct adhesives, solvent cements, and tapes to use with KYDEX® sheet.

Kydex Finishing Techniques

When using rivets, control the tightness of the rivets in both diameter and length to minimize stress concentrations. Flat washers can be used to further reduce stress concentrations at rivet locations. Kydex® has also been used in an exciting new project with the NHS. Like many healthcare organisations across Europe, The Hull NHS Foundation Trust needs to deliver carbon reductions, save money and at the same time provide environments that are built around patient needs. Most hand-held Kydex cutting jigs will also have a depth stop, which allows you to set the depth of your cut so that you don’t accidentally cut too deep. You’ll also want to make sure that your jig has a good handle that is comfortable to hold onto while you’re making your cuts. Elevate your products’ design and create a better use case for your medical devices and diagnostic equipment. KYDEX® sheet products meet or exceed regulatory compliance and safety standards for hospitals, medical offices, and in-home use and are ideal for the following applications and more: KYDEX® 100– Rigid, tough, durable, plastic alloy sheet available in a wide range of standard and custom colors, textures, and sheet sizes. It is Underwriters Laboratories® Inc. recognized for UL Std 94 V-0, 5V and has 961 J/m (18 ft-lbs/in) Notched Izod impact resistance.

KYDEX®sheet is also available in a range of standard colours, realistic wood grains and metallics. Custom colours and a diversity of designs are also available to enhance virtually any commercial, retails or institutional styling theme.A similar acrylic polyvinyl chloride material ( IPK Acrylic-polyvinyl chloride) is manufactured by Emco Plastics and Interstate Plastics, which carries nearly identical properties with an added layer for screen printing. [2] Kydex has become a generic trademark, and often refers to any material of a similar composition. Once you have your Kydex cutting jig, there are a few things to keep in mind when using it. First, always use a sharp blade. A dull blade will cause your cuts to be less precise and can even damage the Kydex material. Second, take your time and make sure that each cut is made slowly and deliberately. Rushing your cuts will only result in sloppy results. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) tests decorative laminates for performance. Technical Brief 107provides NEMA’s test results for KYDEX® XD, KYDEX® XD03, and KYDEX® XDWG. How does KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet compare to other plastics such as ABS and HIPS?

KYDEX® sheet is available in grades that meet flammability standards for building interiors, electrical and electronic devices, aircraft, and mass transit vehicles. Technical Brief 110-A, Technical Brief 111-A, Technical Brief 111-B, Technical Brief 111-C, Technical Brief 111-D, and Technical Brief 111-E, provide details regarding the grades of KYDEX® sheet that meet each of these standards. Does KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet have antifungal and antimicrobial properties? KYDEX® sheet is easy to laminate to MDF via membrane pressing. Technical Brief 141-A and Technical Brief 141-Boutline the procedures for membrane pressing KYDEX® sheet. Can KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet be fabricated into boxes via miter-folding? If your holster, knife sheath or mag pouch is equipped with screws or other hardware, be sure to apply Loctite to all fasteners to ensure positive retention.

Kydex Cutting Techniques

As with nearly every other holster material, there are different grades of Kydex materials. When you’re looking to buy Kydex for a particular project, it’s imperative that you pay close attention to its grade. This article may rely excessively on sources too closely associated with the subject, potentially preventing the article from being verifiable and neutral. Please help improve it by replacing them with more appropriate citations to reliable, independent, third-party sources. ( October 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Use a heat gun to evenly heat the surface of the Kydex. Be careful not to overheat the Kydex, as this can cause warping. Using standard tools, Kydex® thermoforming sheets can be drilled, vacuum formed, brake formed or punch pressed. Kydex® is a machinable thermoplastic that can be molded to form fit just about any shape imaginable without expensive tools and machinery. Kydex® can reduce the number of individual parts needed in many applications, thereby reducing assembly costs. Kydex® can then simply be placed over or around the item to be contained, and pressed until cool. This process could involve a shop press, using plywood to keep an object between two Kydex® sheets in place, or a top weighted enclosure press (e.g. an MDF press).
