Improved KYDEX® FST

KYDEX, LLC introduced an improved formulation of KYDEX® FST. The newly formulated sheet is now available in a lower gloss finish, in an integrally colored metallic, with a new texture called PBBrushed Metal or as an injection- molding resin.

KYDEX FST is high-performance aviation grade sheet, formulated to meet all Boeing and Airbus flame-smoke toxicity requirements. KYDEX FST also has Microban® antimicrobial protection built into the sheet so it won’t wash or wear away and lasts for the lifetime of the sheet/product. Microban technology helps keep the surface cleaner between cleanings and inhibits the growth of bacteria that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.

“We recognized a need to develop an aviation grade sheet that was available in a lower gloss finish as well as a fully-compliant injection-molding resin,” says Ronn Cort, International Business Manager. “Like other KYDEX sheet materials, this product is available in the industry standard P3 Velour Matte texture, but the enhanced KYDEX FST sheet was developed in response to our clients expressed needs. Our goal is to deliver a consistently quality product for demanding applications and we are proud to offer the industry’s lowest minimum order quantities and shortest lead times.”

With the inclusion of this product, KYDEX now offers a truly robust line of thermoplastic sheet for the airline interiors industry. All aviation grade KYDEX sheet products are developed to form two- and three-dimensional aircraft components while minimizing rejections due to unacceptable part quality.
