Hytrel® TPC-ET G4078 NC010
Hytrel TPC-ET G4078 NC010 is a low-modulus thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET) with a nominal hardness of 40D. It offers excellent toughness, resilience, and flexibility at low temperatures, while maintaining strong retention of mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The grade shows outstanding resistance to creep, impact and flex fatigue and contains a non-discoloring stabilizer for improved color stability. Hytrel TPC-ET G4078 NC010 can be processed on conventional thermoplastic equipment using injection molding or extrusion.
Key Features:
- Low modulus with high flexibility
- Excellent toughness and resilience
- Outstanding resistance to creep, impact and flex fatigue
- Good resistance to oils, fuels and industrial chemicals
- Non-discoloring stabilizer for enhanced color stability
- Light-stabilized grade for improved durability under light exposure
- Plasticizer-free with long-term property retention
Processing Form:
- Injection Molding
- Film Extrusion
- Extrusion
- Sheet Extrusion
