Kydex® Sheet Turns 40

Kleerdex Company LLC is celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Kydex® thermoplastic sheet. “Kydex 100” thermoplastic was introduced by Rohm and Haas Company in 1965. In 1987 Kleerdex Company purchased the Kydex product line from Rohm and Haas, and in 1990 began manufacturing Kydex sheet at its Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania location. Kleerdex developed numerous additional grades to provide the physical, electrical and chemical properties, and fire ratings required for mass transit vehicles, electrical enclosures, medical products and other demanding applications, as well as generalpurpose grades that compete with fire retardant ABS and polycarbonate.

Today, Kydex sheet is produced in over 40 grades utilized for aircraft interiors, mass transit vehicle interiors, building products and a variety of original equipment products.
