Do I Have to Use Standard Size SheetFrom KYDEX LLC.?   NO!

Many laminators & pressers ask if they have to buy KYDEX sheet in 57” x 120” sheets or 57” wide rolls.  No, but we keep some standard colors and wood grains on the shelf in these sizes so they can be used for laminating or membrane pressing.  We found that these sizes can fulfill the needs for most smaller requirements

Most customers who are working on a  job will order our sheet run to size to their specifications.  This is considered a custom run.  We e do have minimums but it is easy to calculate these minimums and most customers consider them very low.  I will list these below:

• KYDEX HD (.022”) minimum custom run is 3,680 sq. ft.
• KYDEX XD (.030”) minimum custom run is 2,844 sq. ft.
• KYDEX XD (.040”) minimum custom run is 2,135 sq. ft.
• KYDEX WG (.030”) minimum custom run is 2,700 sq. ft.
• KYDEX 152WG (.040”) minimum run is 2,105 sq. ft.

These minimums are for both custom sizes and custom colors when you order. Standard delivery will be no more than 3‐1/2 weeks ARO..  We are very proud to announce KYDEX LLC.’s on time percentage was over 98%  in 2010.

KYDEX Products Surpass HPL for Environment According to Independent Analysis.

In a report by the GreenTeam Inc. a strategic environmental consulting firm, the results of an independent life cycle assessment (LCA) preformed on KYDEX® sheet “ produces less global warming (greenhouse gases as kg CO2 equivalents), ozone depleting gases and solid waste” than high pressure laminate (HPL).  In addition, the report indicates KYDEX sheet production uses less energy than HPL production.

In its analysis for Wal‐Mart, the GreenTeam used HPL LCA data supplied by the International Committee of Decorative Laminates Industry and preformed an LCA for KYDEX® XD and KYDEX HD using date provided by the manufacturer and databases within SimaPro LCA software.  Specifically, the GreenTeam compared date on environmental impacts of sheet constituents according to selected TRACE (Tool for the Reduction of Assessment of Chemical and other environmental Impacts) indicators.

Based on the LCA estimates of comparing HPL with KYDEX® XD and  KYDEX® HD sheet used in a variety of retail applications, the GreenTeam report concluded, “Use of KYDEX® sheet is expected to result in less negative environmental impacts than HPL.  Particularly, global warming potential, ozone depletion, energy use, and solid waste generation are better for KYDEX® sheet than HPL.
