KYDEX V KYDEX V sheet has excellent forming properties, which results in uniform wall thicknesses and crisp detail. KYDEX V sheet forms to deep draws with low forces when heated to the upper end of the forming temperature range. Unlike many other thermoforming sheets, KYDEX V sheet has unusually high resistance to hot tearing. Forming Guidelines - Oven temperatures should be set differently than the settings used for ABS or FR-ABS. - Typical heater settings (percentage timers) are 30% - 50% top heaters and 50% - 70% bottom heaters. - The most frequent problem is trying to heat the sheet too quickly, particularly on the primary surface. - Cycle times will vary depending on the oven conditions and grade of KYDEX V sheet being formed. - When forming KYDEX V sheet, it is better to rely on the sheet appearance during heating than on fixed cycle times. - Forming temperatures - Guidelines: (Sheet should not exceed 204°C (400°F). 165 - 177°C (330 - 350°F) for
