4335

Fire Rated Sheet for Thermoforming, Fabricating

High impact, UL 94 V-0 rated PVC/Acrylic sheet delivering exceptional impact resistance, inclusion-free surface quality, unlimited textures/colors and extreme formability

Boltaron 4335 is a proprietary, fire retardant, extruded PVC/Acrylic alloy offering extreme durability, chemical resistance, and a UL 94 V-0 rating while exhibiting exceptional physical properties. It offers Izod Impact resistance of 18 ft lbs/in (954 J/m), significantly improving the durability of thermoformed components versus FR-ABS and other competitive sheet. In addition, Boltaron 4335 is non-hygroscopic, eliminating the time and costs associated with pre-drying other thermoplastics. It also offers other exceptional physical properties, extreme formability and consistent surface quality, and is available in unlimited custom colors with low minimums and fast turnarounds. As a result, leading thermoformers and original equipment manufacturers seeking an uncompromising combination of formability, durability, chemical resistance, and regulatory compliance specify Boltaron 4335 for thermoformed and fabricated housings, enclosures, and displays.
