KYDEX V 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 V 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 V sheet being formed. - When forming KYDEX V 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 < 1.50mm (0.060"). 182 - 196°C (360 - 385°F) for 1.50mm to 3.20mm (0.060" to 0.125"). 196 - 204°C (385 - 400°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 V 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 V 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. ## Features - Kydex V is a recycled grade of Kydex 100 and Kydex T - 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 ## Images ![Plastics 2000 KYDEX V Sheet - .060" Thick, Black, 12" x 12" Nominal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41xYbCdrHUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff! *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2012* This Kydex is good to go. even though its advertised as "thick" its very managable, I like it because it appeared to me that the temperature to make it pliable was much lower than my previous brand of Kydex. So when first using it, watch it carefully because it doesn'r require as much heat as you may expect it to be. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great material *by G***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2013* I chose to give this 5 stars because it was as described, shipped quickly and the price was reasonable. The Kydex was quality and I had no issues with it. Some other people left comments saying it was inferior, I don't know what they were talking about. The .060 thickness black Kydex I received was good stuff. I think some people just like to hide behind their computers and complain about everything. I used this to make a holster and magazine holders, it worked fantastic! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haven't Found the Money Temp Yet *by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2014* I have done much reading on the fabrication of kydex holsters, deciding to give it a try I purchased a sheet of this. I like the flex it creates for my pocket carry and is very comfortable, however I could not find a temperature that made the material soft enough without melting it. I found 280 F to be closest. It also produces a nice aroma that will wake the wifey if she is asleep...ye be warned. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/14266350-plastics-2000-kydex-v-sheet-060-thick-black-12-x](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/14266350-plastics-2000-kydex-v-sheet-060-thick-black-12-x) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
