Over 50 Years of Innovation
The KYDEX® Thermoplastics story began more than 50 years ago, in 1965, when KYDEX® 100 was invented near Philadelphia at the Rohm & Haas Co. At its outset, this high-impact, fire-rated and acrylic-modified PVC thermoplastic sheet proved ideal for hard-to-form parts for a wide range of applications, including aircraft components and mass transit interiors. It quickly gained a reputation as an extremely durable, chemical resistant, and fire-retardant polymer innovation.
In 1987, KYDEX® Thermoplastic production assets and the brand name were purchased by a small team of ex-Rohm & Haas employees, who started the Kleerdex Company in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1990, the company was acquired by SEKISUI Chemical. SEKISUI KYDEX
