Technical Data Sheet KYDEX 5555 Low heat release aviation sheet Introduction KYDEX 5555 is specifically formulated to meet the safety needs of the aviation industry. General Information KYDEX 5555 is a proprietary high performance acrylicPVC 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 6565 in the OSU rate of heat release test. KYDEX 5555 exceeds the heat release to a level of 5555. 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 Features Armrests Window shades Moulding strips Tray tables Kick panels Available in over 200 developed colours various surface textures and eight thicknesses ranging from 0.71mm and up. Very resistant to a wide range of concentrate chemicals and is therefore easy to clean with aggressive cleaners such as Soft Scrub Fantastic and citrus-based cleaners such as Citri Kleen. 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 colours.
