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.
