What polymer is Hytrel?
thermoplastic polyester elastomer
Hytrel® is a TPC-ET thermoplastic polyester elastomer based on block copolymer technology. By leveraging the flexibility of rubber and the strength and processability of plastic, Hytrel® is a versatile and high-performance polymer which facilitates the design and manufacture of a wide variety of products.
What is Hytrel made of?
Block Copolymer – Hytrel® is a block copolymer, consisting of a hard (crystalline) segment of polybutylene terephthalate and a soft (amorphous) segment based on polyether chemistry. Properties are determined by the ratio of hard to soft segments and by the composition of the segments.
Is Hytrel chemical resistant?
DuPont™ Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer provides a spectrum of mechanical properties, as well as mid-range chemical resistance. If your project requires a material with strength and moderate chemical resistance, Hytrel® is an excellent choice.
What is Hytrel used for?
The excellent properties of Hytrel® qualify it for a number of demanding applications where mechanical strength and durability are required in a flexible component. Examples include seals, belts, bushings, pump diaphragms, gears, protective boots, hose and tubing, springs, and impact-absorbing devices.
