Hytrel® TPC-ET SC969 NC010

Hytrel TPC-ET SC969 NC010 is a medium-modulus thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET) with a nominal hardness of 58D (max. 63D). This SC grade is designed for healthcare-related applications and is manufactured according to GMP principles. It is tested against ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-11 and selected parts of USP Class VI. The material offers excellent toughness, resilience and flexibility at low temperatures, while maintaining strong mechanical performance at elevated temperatures. Hytrel TPC-ET SC969 NC010 provides outstanding resistance to creep, impact and flex fatigue, and offers good resistance to oils, solvents and many industrial chemicals. It contains a non-discoloring stabilizer for improved color stability and can be processed using conventional thermoplastic techniques including injection molding and extrusion.

Processing Notes:
Drying is recommended at 100°C for 2–3 hours to achieve a processing moisture content ≤0.08%. Hytrel TPC-ET SC969 NC010 has an optimal melt temperature of 240°C (min. 235°C, max. 260°C) and an optimal mold temperature of 45–55°C. For extrusion, dry at 90–110°C for 2–3 hours to achieve ≤0.06% moisture, and process at a melt temperature range of 225–240°C. Hytrel is incompatible with acetal and PVC. Please refer to the molding and extrusion guidelines for detailed recommendations.
