Description of πŸ”₯ Ultimate KYDEX Sheet: Unrivaled 0.118" Thickness for Superior Performance

Kydex V is a recycled grade of Kydex 100 and Kydex T. Higher breakage resistance than competitive thermoplastics as measured by the Notched Izod test. 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. Great for knife sheaths and gun holsters.

What you need to know: Buy extra to understand how to work with it. I used two extra sheets to figure out how to use it. - It's hard to cut, even for a .028 thickness, so have a good pair of scissors - it will NOT stick together - I had to glue the mask piece by piece because it's difficult for me to cut the mask. part of the…

Interesting product

I've never tried anything like this. I've wanted to reconfigure the grips on a couple of rifles and that seems like something to try. I went with the thicker material as I needed more rigidity compared to all the scabbards and holsters you can find examples of. I was a little worried about plasticity due to the thickness, but that wasn't an issue. I put it in a toaster at 350F for 5 minutes. I placed it on a piece of rolled up aluminum foil so the wire mesh wasn't showing. After a few minutes I

Excellent thermoforming plastic of medium hardness.

Perfect fit for my 2003 Subaru Forester to replace the dash cover with the thermoformed Kydex screen 5 years.

It was difficult to shape Kydex in a regular home oven to look like it came from the factory. Google "Kydex 5 Thermoforming Temperature" for preheat and set time instructions. If you want to get the best results, don't overdo it. After molding I…

Pros
  • One of the toughest thermoformable materials with a modulus of 2482 MPa (360,000 psi)
Cons
  • boring packaging
