Laser cutting Kydex

I have a 50 watt CO2 laser and looking at a project where I would need to cut Kydex. Looking around Kydex is not the best thing to cut due to the gasses that are generated.

I am looking for some suggestions for a similar material. Would like it to have a slightly textured surface with a matte color and for it to be impact resistant like Kydex.

Any thoughts and comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance

... if Kydex has the physical properties you need, why not just deal with the fumes? vent through a carbon filter, or if very limited, vent out a high stack so it disperses (please at least look at local ordinances on this... but it is likely permitted in small volume in it is regulated at all.)
