Perfect for custom knife sheaths and gun holsters.
Main highlights
High Breakage Resistance and Rigidity
Higher breakage resistance than competitive thermoplastics; modulus of elasticity of 2,482 MPa 360,000 psi; easy to form with excellent part definition.
Ideal for Knife Sheaths and Gun Holsters
Great for knife sheaths and gun holsters; also used for making pistol pouches, off-road vehicle light wraps, and various DIY projects.
Ease of Molding and Forming
Customers praise the ease of working with the material; it can be heated, formed, and reformed easily, making it versatile for various applications.
Thickness (.080 in.) | Easy To Form And Use: To use Kydex V thermoform sheet, score and cut a piece slightly larger than the object being covered. Heat the material to a 300-375 degree Fahrenheit range and place over object. Using forming foam, press the material around the object and allow it to cool in position. Once cooled, remove and sand edges to desired shape. (Detailed instructions included with order.)
For DIY Thermoforming: Kydex V Thermoform Sheet is very similar to other thermoform sheet materials like Holstex and Boltaron in the way it forms when heated and molded around an object. Once cooled, this material will keep the shape of the item that was used to mold the shape into place. In its cooled state, it is very durable and light weight. It is used widely in thermoform holster making, cosplay costume creation, removable surface coverings, keel guard protectors, and much more.
Color : Black | KYDEX Type V Texture: P1 Hair Cell: The texture applied to the surface of the Kydex V sheet is referred to as P1 “Hair Cell”. This is a reference to the size and shape of the texture grain and is common on many Kydex items seen in the marketplace. P1 is the most common texture for holsters, sheaths, and other carry items. The texture on Kydex V sheet is uniform across the surface of the material and produces a non-reflective, scratch resistant finish.
Thickness: 0.08 Inches | Easy to form: To use Kydex thermoform sheet, score and cut a piece slightly larger than the object being covered. Heat the material to a 300-375 degree Fahrenheit range and place over object. Using forming foam, press the material around the object and allow it to cool in position. Once cooled, remove and sand edges to desired shape. (Detailed instructions included with order.)
Infused Graphic Pattern : Topographic Camo | KYDEX Thermoform Sheet (*Includes HolsterSmith Instructions) | For DIY thermoforming: Kydex Thermoform Sheet is very similar to both Holstex and Boltaron in the way it forms when heated and molded around an object. Once cooled, this material will keep the shape of the item that was used to mold the shape into place. In its cooled state, it is very durable and light weight. It is used widely in holster making, cosplay, keel guard protectors, and more.
Color: Hunter Orange/Black (Reversed) | Digital Infusion Process: The Infused Prints are applied with our leading digital infusion process. Our process allows the graphics to be thermally bonded to the top layer of the KYDEX thermoform sheet, yet maintains the original sheet's texture and size. By maintaining the most original sheet texture, our process allows the graphic to display a 3D depth like never before.
Thermostable Performance: the thermoform molding can withstand high temperatures of 200 degrees Fahrenheit and can be applied in most situations, so you can use it with confidence
Reliable and Serviceable: the thermoform molding foams are high temperature resistant, solid and reliable, which can be made of holster and sheath, serve you for a long time
Accurate Adaptation: the heat resistant foam fits well to the finished product and can show the subtle twists and details of the finished product to better protect your items; It can be applied not only on surfaces, but also on both sides of objects
Width: 8 Inches | Length: 12 Inches | Holstex Molding Foams Can Be Used On Both Sides To Extend Production Lifecycle: Holstex brand thermoform molding foams can be used on both sides to extend their production lifecycle. There are no rivals to Holstex Molding Foams in production durability. We have perfected our formulation over 20 years
Thickness: 1 Inch | Used For Press Molding Heated Thermoform Sheet Material: Holstex brand thermoform molding foams are specifically engineered for use in press-molding sheet materials like KYDEX, HOLSTEX, Boltaron, and ABS plastic sheet materials. Holstex brand thermoforming foams have much improved overall production performance in the fabrication cycle. Our molding foam variations consistently produce more detail and last longer in production.
Foam Grade ( Mega Form )(Better Detail/Better Lifecycle): Holstex Thermoform Molding Foams Are Industry Standards For Parts Detail: If you want the best quality and all-around molding effects from your thermoform molding work, Holstex brand foams are specifically designed for thermoform molding applications like DIY Holster Making, Knife Sheath Making, Cosplay Costume Making, Airsoft Armor, and countless other creations. Holstex foam is available in three grades, 4 thicknesses, and two sizes.
