Key Features of Hytrel TPC
Flexibility & Resilience
Unlike traditional rubber, Hytrel TPC can flex in multiple directions, cycle after cycle, long after rubber would break.
Durability
Hytrel TPC is an essential ingredient in applications that must endure a wide range of temperatures and tough conditions during years of service.
Enhanced Chemical Resistance
Exhibits excellent resistance to hydrocarbons and other fluids, making it suitable for demanding environments.
Sustainable Options
The Hytrel TPC ECO-B series utilizes a biomass balance approach, incorporating up to 72% renewable content without compromising material properties.
