Kydex and Concealex are types of plastics called high-performance thermoplastics that are supplied<br />

in sheet form. Concealex is tougher and more robust than Kydex because of the carbon<br />

fiber reinforcement it contains.<br />

Both of these plastics can be heated up and molded to form all kinds of shapes. Figure 5-36<br />

shows a sheet of Concealex. Both of these materials have been used extensively in the automotive<br />

and aerospace industry, but are nowadays also used to make holsters for firearms and<br />

sheathes for knives.<br />
