Hytrel® TPC-ET 4068
Hytrel TPC-ET 4068 is a low-modulus thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET) with a nominal hardness of 40D. It provides excellent toughness, resilience, impact strength and resistance to creep, flex fatigue and tearing. The material maintains flexibility at low temperatures and retains mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Hytrel TPC-ET 4068 contains a non-discoloring stabilizer and offers good resistance to many industrial chemicals, oils and solvents. It can be processed on conventional thermoplastic equipment for injection molding and extrusion.
Key Features:
- Low modulus with excellent flexibility
- Exceptional toughness and high impact strength
- Outstanding resistance to creep and flex fatigue
- Good resistance to oils, solvents and industrial chemicals
- Non-discoloring stabilizer for improved color stability
- Light-stabilized grade suitable for exposure to light
- Plasticizer-free with long-term property retention
Processing Form:
- Injection Molding
- Film Extrusion
- Extrusion
- Sheet Extrusion
- Thermoforming
- Casting
Processing Notes:
Drying is recommended at 100°C for 2–3 hours to reach a processing moisture content below 0.08%. Hytrel TPC-ET 4068 has an optimal melt temperature of 225°C and a mold temperature of 40°C. For extrusion, drying at 90–110°C for 2–3 hours to achieve a moisture content below 0.06% is recommended, with an optimal melt temperature of 215°C. Hytrel is incompatible with acetal and PVC. Please also refer to the injection mold
