Hytrel® TPC-ET 5033FG NC010

Hytrel TPC-ET 5033FG NC010 is a medium-modulus thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET) with a nominal hardness of 50D. This FG grade is developed for food-contact applications and offers high flow properties for injection molding. It provides excellent toughness, resilience and strong flexibility at low temperatures, while maintaining mechanical performance at elevated temperatures. The material demonstrates outstanding resistance to creep, impact and flex fatigue, and contains a non-discoloring stabilizer. Hytrel TPC-ET 5033FG NC010 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 5033FG NC010 has an optimal melt temperature of 230°C (min. 220°C, max. 250°C) and an optimal mold temperature of 45°C (max. 55°C). For extrusion, drying at 100°C for 2–3 hours with a moisture target ≤0.06% is recommended. Hytrel is incompatible with acetal and PVC. Please refer to the molding and extrusion guidelines for detailed recommendations.
