SEKISUI SPI KYDEX® 5555 Acrylic/PVC
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Vinyl (PVC); Polyvinyl Chloride - Polyvinyl Acetate Copolymer
Material Notes:	Low heat release aviation sheet KYDEX® 5555 is specifically formulated to meet the safety needs of the aviation industry KYDEX® 5555 is a proprietary, high performance acrylic/PVC thermoplastic sheet that meets all fire retardancy requirements set forth in Federal Aviation Regulations 25.853 paragraphs (a) and (d) (old (c)) including low heat release (65/65) in the OSU rate of heat release test. KYDEX® 5555 exceeds the heat release to a level 55/55. Its excellent properties make it the ideal material to form two-and-three-dimensional aircraft components. Suggested Applications: Seat parts Bulkhead laminates Life vest shrouds Passenger service units Monitor shrouds Armrests Window shades Molding strips Tray tables Kick panels Features: Available in over 200 developed colors, various surface textures, and eight thicknesses range from 0.71 mm and up Very resistant to wide range of concentrate chemicals, and is therefore easy to clean with aggressive cleaners. Ammoniated cleaners should be avoided since they can leave a residue Meets the stringent requirements of the FAR 25.853 paragraph (d) (replaces para.c), in all thicknesses and colors. Values based upon 3.18 mm (0.125 in) sheet unless otherwise specified. Information provided by Sekisui Polymer Innovations
