Advanced Thermoplastic Solutions For Emerging Applications
When material requirements are complex, unconventional, or still evolving, SEKISUI KYDEX can help you explore advanced thermoplastic solutions designed around performance, design, durability, and application-specific needs.
For Applications That Do Not Fit Neatly Into a Category
Not every application begins with a defined material specification. Some begin with a challenge: a difficult burn requirement, an outdoor exposure concern, a weight reduction target, a need for specific surface properties, or a product concept that requires a new approach.
SEKISUI KYDEX works with OEMs, designers, engineers, and fabricators to help evaluate performance requirements and identify potential thermoplastic solutions for demanding applications.

Start With Your Performance Requirements
If you are not sure which material is right for your application, begin with the performance objectives you need to achieve.
Fire, Smoke & Toxicity
Support for applications with demanding burn, smoke, toxicity, or regulatory performance requirements.
Outdoor Durability
Materials designed to support long-term exposure to sunlight, weather, temperature changes, and exterior environments.
Design & Appearance
Color, texture, pattern, and surface options that help align material performance with brand, environment, and design intent.
Lightweighting
Thermoplastic alternatives that may help reduce weight compared to traditional material systems in appropriate applications.
Fabrication & Formability
Material solutions that support thermoforming, machining, assembly, and production-focused fabrication methods.
Chemical & Surface Resistance
Solutions for applications where cleaning, handling, exposure, or surface performance are key material considerations.
Sustainability Objectives
Material options that may support recycled content, long service life, and sustainability-focused product development goals.
Specialized Performance
For applications requiring unique properties related to thermal behavior, optical characteristics, additives, pigments, or environmental performance.
Advanced Material Modification & Customization
Some applications require more than a standard material selection. SEKISUI KYDEX can explore pigments, additives, surface technologies, and formulation approaches that help tailor material performance to specific application needs.
Pigments & Additives
Explore material options that may help support specific color, appearance, environmental, or performance requirements.
Thermal & Optical Considerations
Discuss requirements related to heat management, reflectivity, absorption, light exposure, or other application-specific environmental factors.
Surface Performance
Support for applications where cleanability, texture, durability, chemical exposure, or surface appearance are key considerations.
Application-Specific Development
Collaborative evaluation for requirements that are not currently represented in the standard product information available online.
