Thermoplastic Polyester Elastomer
Hytrel TPC thermoplastic elastomer combines the flexibility of rubber with the strength and processability of thermoplastics. Manufacturers prefer parts made with Hytrel for their resilience and heat and chemical resistance, as well as their strength and durability.
A Plasticizer-free Thermoplastic Copolyester Elastomer with Outstanding Flexibility and Stable Mechanical Performance Over a Wide Temperature Range
Hytrel drives innovative design, enabling the development of unique parts with superior performance characteristics.This versatile material can flex in multiple directions, cycle after cycle, long after rubber would break. Its durability has made it an essential ingredient in automotive components such as Constant Velocity Joint (CVJ) boots, which must endure a wide range of temperatures and tough conditions over the life of a vehicle, as well as athletic footwear and garments. Additionally, its resistance to chemicals like oils and fuels also make it ideal for cosmetic packaging and consumer electronics. Hytrel can be molded by injection, blow or rotational techniques; types of economical processing that are used with nonwovens, cable jacketing and other applications. Manufacturers can also select from a variety of grades that can offer many combinations of flexibility, mechanical performans and other properties, making Hytrel an extremely versatile solution.
