Available in clear, translucent or opaque, sign grade acrylic sheet consistently performs in both indoor and outdoor sign applications. It is available in many colors or colorless in either sheet or reels.

ABRASION RESISTANT Abrasion resistant acrylic sheet is ideal for indoor applications where frequent handling, heavy traffic, and regular cleaning are commonplace. The abrasion

SIGN GRADE ACRYLIC SHEET resistant coating helps to significantly extend service life. These sheet products are available with the coating on one or two sides.

ACRYLIC SHEET FOR LED LIGHTING This acrylic sheet is specially formulated for LED sign faces. It has a frosted appearance and unique optical properties that evenly diffuse light and hide LED hot spots without the use of a diffuser film.

ACRYLIC SHEET FOR EDGE-LIT APPLICATIONS This acrylic sheet is specifically made for edge-lit applications. Light focused on the edge of the sheet is transmitted and evenly diffused to both faces of the sheet, resulting in a bright and uniform illumination. This allows the light manufacturer to conceal the fluorescent tubes in the profile trim, rather than place them behind the sheet. It eliminates the need for bulky display used for illuminated designs and replaces them with slimmer designs.

BLACK/WHITE ACRYLIC SHEET Black/White ACRYLITE® GP acrylic sheet appears dark by day and, with a little, backlighting, glows white at night. It’s manufactured from a special pigment for-

mulation that yields 10-19% light transmittance when backlit, yet appears dark ACRYLIC SHEET FOR EDGE-LIT APPLICATIONS and opaque without backlighting. These features make Black/White ACRYLITE® GP sheet a great solution for channel letters and faces.

IMPACT RESISTANCE FORMING GUIDELINES of KYDEX® compared with High Impact Polystyrene and ABS • 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, especially the primary surface • Cycle times will vary depending on the oven conditions and grade of KYDEX® sheet being formed • When forming KYDEX® thermoplastic sheet, it is better to rely on the sheet appearance during heating than on fixed cycle times • Forming temperatures - Guidelines: (sheet should not exceed 204ºC (400ºF) 165-177ºC (330-350ºF) for < 1.50mm (0.060"). 182-196ºC (360-385ºF) for 1.50mm to 3.20mm (0.060" to 0.125") 196-204ºC (385-400ºF) for >3.20mm (0.125") • Ideally the core sheet temperature should be within 10ºF of the surface temperature • Drying is not generally required except in high humidity conditions • If the material needs to be dried, it should be dried at 68ºC (155ºF) or about 15º below the products HDT for 16 hours for 3.20mm (0.125") thickness Notched Izod Impact per ASTM D-256 (ft-lbs/in of notch)
