Ideal for crafting durable knife sheaths, gun holsters, and custom projects, this USA-made sheet delivers professional-grade quality with crisp detail and uniform thickness every time. ## Description KYDEX KYDEX sheet has excellent forming properties, which results in uniform wall thicknesses and crisp detail. KYDEX 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 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 sheet being formed. - When forming KYDEX 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 3.20mm (0.125") - Ideally the core sheet temperature should be within 10°F of the surface temperature. Sheet Appearance During Heating As KYDEX sheet is heated, the inherent stresses in the sheet will relax. Stage I: The heating is marked by wide undulations and softening. Stage II: The material will start to form small ripples (known as oil canning). . Stage III: The material will start to smooth out and sag (KYDEX sheet will generally sag less than other thermoplastics due to its high melt strength. . Stage IV: The ripples will have smoothed out indicating that most stresses have been removed. 10 to 30 seconds afterwards the sheet is ready to form. Review: Great product for kayak keel 5 star ✨ - I know this product is mainly meant for making gun holsters, but I actually picked it up to make a keel guard for my kayak—and I’ve got to say, it worked out great. The material feels really solid and well-made. One side is smooth, the other has a bit of texture, which was perfect for what I needed. The instructions were super simple, and the company was really helpful too. For the price, it’s honestly a steal. If you're thinking about protecting your kayak, don’t overthink it—this stuff gets the job done and the support behind it makes it even better. Review: Easy! - Being able to shape your own kydex at such a good price is a game changer. Was able to form some CA Shark Fin grips since I didn't like any on the market. Popped them in the oven for a while and I have a high quality perfectly sized fin! The texture on the kydex is also nice - not too aggressive. ## Features - Higher breakage resistance than competitive thermoplastics as measured by the Notched Izod test - Among the most rigid of thermoforming materials with a modulus of elasticity of 2,482 MPa (360,000 psi) - Easy to form with excellent part definition and deep-draw characteristics - Great for knife sheaths and gun holsters - Made in USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B077S5N6TP | | Best Sellers Rank | #27,570 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #148 in Plastic Sheets | | Brand Name | Plastics 2000 | | Color | Black, 52114 | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (649) | | Grade Rating | Industrial | | Item Dimensions | 12 x 8 x 0.08 inches | | Item Form | Sheet | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Thickness | 0.08 Inches | | Item Weight | 0.32 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Plastics 2000 | | Material | KYDEX | | Model Number | V | | Number of Items | 2 | | Part Number | P2K-KYDEX-080-8x12-52114-2P | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Plastics 2000 - **Color:** Black, 52114 - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 12 x 8 x 0.08 inches - **Material:** KYDEX - **Shape:** Rectangular ## Images ![KYDEX Sheet - 0.080" Thick, Black, 8" x 12", 2 Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61J2RbcqzTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this grade of kydex, kydex t or kydex 100? Or is it another grade like kydex V?** A: Yes **Q: kayak keel ?** A: I can actually see that working pretty well as long as you mold it right. **Q: Would a hair dryer work for heating this up?** A: Yes most likely on a high setting. a 1200 to 1500 watt hair dryer should soften it enough to form the material. **Q: Will this work for use in an engine bay ?** A: It is depends where you place it and what you intend to use it for. The working (molding) temperature for this is roughly 320 degrees. If you place it anywhere that gets 250 degrees and hotter, the material well soften and/or melt. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product for kayak keel 5 star ✨ *by J***M on July 26, 2025* I know this product is mainly meant for making gun holsters, but I actually picked it up to make a keel guard for my kayak—and I’ve got to say, it worked out great.
