What is Kydex?

Published on Feb 05, 2022

Kydex is a cloth that has been with us since the mid ’60s, at first designed to be used in plane interiors.

Of hobby to the firearm network is the model of Kydex as a cloth for knife sheaths and holsters.

His paintings stuck on with the relaxation of the Chicago Bureau, and the call to unfold so hastily that Rogers took a three-yr departure from the Bureau to make holsters.

It took a long time for artificial substances to come to be a mainstream opportunity to standard leather-based. In that time, change techniques of producing inflexible artificial holsters emerged: molded Kydex and injection molding.

What precisely IS a Kydex holster?

Developed in 1965 through Rohm and Haas, Kydex holster is a thermoplastic acrylic-polyvinyl chloride whose creation offers the plastic tension even as additionally permitting it to be molded into numerous shapes. Engineered for thermoforming fabrication, it combines the homes of the acrylic (tension and formability) and the polyvinyl chloride (sturdiness and chemical resistance) components.

A highly tough thermoplastic, Kydex holster has a hardness of 90 (!) at the Rockwell R scale (gun barrels are normally 26-forty Rockwell). This hardness, blended with a grained surface, will increase its abrasion resistance.

All of which means it's miles a lightweight, long lasting polymer that is effortlessly shaped whilst heated. It may be vacuum-shaped to create a super suit and may yield a thinner profile than injection-molded counterparts.

Also, Kydex holster generally tend to provide sturdiness, electricity and universal higher retention than its injection-molded counterpart.

Will Kydex smash?

Typically, no. However, if abused, it'll smash or lose its shape. If critically stressed, it may expand cracks at pressure points–like in case you run it over together along with your car.

Another automobile warning is to in no way depart your Kydex holster for your dashboard or in different intense warmness situations as it is able to attain a “working” temperature and deform.

Quality producers normally use .08-inch KYDEX™ because it gives the nice stability of sturdiness and lightweight, all-day comfort.

If your holster, knife sheath or magazine pouch is prepared with screws or different hardware, make certain to use Loctite on all fasteners to ensure nice retention.

Let’s face it, leather-based is cool. It even smells good. But for each day of sensible use, it has visible its time. As the older “steel, timber and leather-based” generations make room for the younger “polymer” generations, the prejudices in opposition to synthetics have in large part disappeared (however now no longer entirely). If your each day bring setup is supposed to supply most performance, you’ll subsequently locate your manner to a Kydex holster manufacturer.
