Hytrel® TPC-ET DYM350BK
Hytrel TPC-ET DYM350BK is a medium-modulus polyester alloy elastomer designed for injection molding, with a nominal hardness of 55D (50D at 15s). This black, heat- and light-stabilized grade contains fine-particle carbon black and offers excellent toughness, resilience and flexibility at low temperatures. The alloyed TPC-ET/PBT structure provides strong dimensional stability and high impact resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments. Hytrel TPC-ET DYM350BK demonstrates outstanding resistance to creep, impact and flex fatigue, as well as robust puncture and tear strength. It also shows very good chemical resistance to fuels, oils, solvents, acids, bases and typical automotive fluids.

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.
