Kydex^® Thermoplastics Are Your Solution For Aviation Interiors

Learn more about the impact of colour, and how through our unique process, we can develop colours, textures, imagery, and effects that bring your design to life.

appLab™ brings the supply chain together for rapid prototyping. Using dedicated fabrication tools, test equipment and technology, you can develop, refine and produce custom solutions that move your industry forward. Let’s start collaborating.

When performance is vital and safety is critical, you can depend on our wide range of products that meet the demanding specifications for fire, smoke, and toxicity.

Developed inside the appLab™, the new KYDEX® surfaceGrip™ (SG) product line is an anti-slip, low gloss material for aviation interiors. Available with custom colour and Infused Imaging™ technology, surfaceGrip™ opens the door to new design possibilities, combining integral colour, imagery, and a tactile experience with soft touch texture.

KYDEX® Injection Molding materials are a PVC/PMMA alloy and share the same physical properties as KYDEX® Thermoplastic sheet. Because KYDEX® IM materials are specifically engineered to match KYDEX® thermoformed parts, they contribute to the overall seamless aesthetic and are as durable, chemical- and stain- resistant.

Designers can realize multi-faceted designs with low minimums and custom colour through the fully compliant KYDEX® FST suite, including:

• KYDEX® FST— Opaque
• KYDEX® FST 03 — Pearlescent
• KYDEX® FST CTL — Tinted colour/translucent
• KYDEX® FST CLR — Clear

Specially formulated to meet low heat release and fire retardancy requirements in aviation interiors, with high-impact material that improves passenger safety.

This high-impact thermoplastic sheet shimmers with a pearlescent effect and meets aviation-industry standards for low heat release and improved passenger safety.

Crystal Cabin award winning, Infused Imaging™ puts colour and imagery into thermoplastic material. Not on it. It gives designers, seat manufacturers and airlines the power to create bespoke environments using colour, images and texture without sacrificing strength and durability.

Quality assurance is our hallmark. That’s why, after a staining problem — and at an airlines’ request — we conducted our standard internal tests on a competitor’s products.

SEKISUI KYDEX takes their commitment to being good stewards of the environment seriously. Lighter aircrafts use less jet fuel leading to reduced carbon emissions. Learn more about KYDEX® Thermoplastics sustainability.
