Bending and Shaping Kydex: Best Practices for Manufacturers & Makers

Kydex’s unique balance of durability, formability, and chemical resistance makes it ideal across a wide range of industries. Vacuum forming allows for the creation of complex, lightweight parts with consistent quality. Belovac specializes in manufacturing machines that support these industry-specific demands.

Medical and Medical Packaging Equipment

Kydex is often used to produce medical housings, trays, and equipment enclosures due to its ability to withstand repeated sterilization and resist harsh cleaning agents. Belovac’s vacuum forming systems are engineered to manufacture medical-grade packaging trays and enclosures with clean edges, tight tolerances, and hygienic surfaces.
