Kydex® P90 Acrylic/PVC Extrusion Compound

Subcategory: Vinyl; Acrylic; Thermoplastic

Key Words: Polyvinylchloride; PMMA; Polymethylmethacrylate

Material Notes:
Low heat release aviation grade

Applications: Kydex P90 is designed for extrusion of profiles which need to meet the highest flammability requirement of PAR 25.853a for vertical burn, rate of heat release, and smoke generation.

Features: Kydex IM90 is available in many standard and custom colors enabling you to satisfy both the functional and aesthetic requirements of any aircraft interior. Kydex IM90 is very resistant to a wide range of concentrated chemicals, and is therefore easy to clean with aggressive cleaners. Ammoniated cleaners should be avoided since they can leave a residue. Most importantly, Kydex IM90 meets the stringent requirements for the FAR 25.853 paragraph (d) in all thicknesses and colors.

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.
