Product Description
KYDEX ® 6503 is a proprietary, high performance thermoplastic sheet specifically formulated to meet the safety needs of the aviation industry. Integrally pearlescent, this sheet is perfect for use with LED lighting or on it's own.

KYDEX ® 6503 meets all fire retardancy requirements set forth in Federal Aviation Regulations 25.853 paragraphs (a) and (d) (old (c)) including low heat release (65 / 65) in the OSU rate of heat release test. Its excellent properties make it the ideal material to form 2 and 3-dimensional aircraft components.
