| KYDEX® 5555HI-ION is a proprietary, high performance thermoplastic sheet with integral color specifically engineered to improve aircraft passenger safety. Its built-in antimicrobial protection continuously fights the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria on its surface. KYDEX® 5555HI-ION is designed to provide material deformation when used in components subjected to HIC (Head Injury Criterion) testing for increased passenger safety. It exceeds the flammability and smoke development requirements outlined in Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 25.853 paragraphs (a) and (d). KYDEX® 5555HI-ION exceeds a 55/55 heat release level and 150 smoke development. Its KYDEX ION Technology™ is integral to the sheet. It will not wash or wear away and will last for the life of the product. Suggested Application: - Seat parts
- Bulkhead laminates
- Life vest shrouds
- Monitor Shrouds
- Armrests
- Molding strips
- Tray tables
- Kick panels
Features: - Improved impact properties over traditional thermoplastics for HIC compliance seating requirements
- Reduces cost of compliance by decreasing the total number of expensive and time consuming 16g tests
- Increases design freedom to create more complex seat geometries
- Decreases weight by eliminating the need for heavy reinforcements or thick gauges
- Exceeds the stringent requirements of FAR 25.853 paragraphs (a) and (d) in all thicknesses and colors
- Excellent formability and fabrication characteristics
- Allows for tight tolerance control
- Available in a wide range of integral colors
- Antimicrobial protection inhibits the growth of bacteria on the sheet surface
- Antimicrobial protection is built-in to the sheet so it won’t wash or wear away and lasts for the life of the sheet
- Antimicrobial protection keeps the surface cleaner between cleanings
