Microban® technology
KYDEX® T MB is a proprietary thermoplastic sheet that is cost competitive with fire retardant ABS/PVC (FR-ABS) formulations but with significantly higher impact strength and extensibility. Microban® protection is built-in to continuously fight the growth of microbes.

Since KYDEX® T MB is less hygroscopic, unlike FR-ABS, is typically does not require pre-drying, offers superior impact, more uniform forming with less wall thinning and offers significantly greater resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals and cleaning solutions. It is available in a wide range of aesthetic choices and is Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc® recognized Std 94 V-0, 5V.

Suggested Applications

• Aircraft Interiors

• Mass Transit Vehicle Interior Components

• Equipment Housings

• Medical Products

• Kiosk Housings

Features

• Substitute for FR-ABS sheet with competitive pricing but superior cost/performance

• Higher breakage resistance measured by the Notched Izod test than competitive thermoplastics

• Available in thicknesses from 0.71mm (0.028”) and up, in eight textures, a variety of colors, custom blank sizes and low minimums

• Among the most rigid of thermoforming materials with a modulus of elasticity of 2,482 MPa (360,000 psi)

• Easy to form with excellent part definition and deep-draw characteristics

• Recognized by Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc® for Std 94 V-0, 5V in all thicknesses

• Form times similar to FR-ABS making it an easy transition from competitive products.

• Antimicrobial protection inhibits the growth of bacteria that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.

• Antimicrobial protection is built-in to the sheet so it won’t wash or wear away and lasts for the lifetime of the product/sheet.

• Antimicrobial protection keeps the surface cleaner between cleanings.
