Kydex® P84 Extrusion Compound

Subcategory: Thermoplastic

Material Notes:
Clear profile extrusion compound

Applications: Kydex P84 can be used for parts requiring clarity and good chemical resistance

Features: P84 has a transmittance of 81% at 400 nm and 86% at 700 nm for a .9mm sample. Extrusions made with P84 are very resistant to harsh chemicals and solvents and to cleaning agents.

Processing: This compound should be processed using rigid PVC extrusion equipment under standard PVC operating conditions. Barrel temperatures in an extruder should be set at 166-171°C and adapter and die temperatures should be 171-177°C. Screw RPMs of 23 to 33 are typical. Typically single screw extruders are used for pelletized material and conical twin screw extruders for powder. Unlike other thermoplastic resins, pre-drying is not required.
