Hytrel® TPC-ET HTR8936 BK320
Hytrel TPC-ET HTR8936 BK320 is a high-viscosity, medium-modulus thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET) with a nominal hardness of 50D. This black grade is heat- and UV-stabilized and designed specifically for blow molding applications requiring strong melt strength and superior durability. The material provides excellent toughness, resilience and flexibility at low temperatures, while retaining mechanical performance at elevated temperatures. Hytrel TPC-ET HTR8936 BK320 demonstrates outstanding resistance to creep, impact and flex fatigue, combined with exceptional tear strength and chemical resistance to oils, fuels, solvents and water. It also provides superior acidity resistance and heat-aging stability.
Key Features:
- High-viscosity blow-molding grade (50D)

Processing Notes:
For blow molding, drying is required at 80–90°C for 5–6 hours to achieve a processing moisture ≤0.03%.
Optimal melt temperature is 235°C (range 225–240°C) with a mold temperature of 50°C (30–70°C).
Injection molding shrinkage: 1.9% (parallel) and 1.8% (normal).
Hytrel is incompatible with acetal and PVC. Please refer to the molding and extrusion guidelines for full processing recommendations.
Applications:
Developed for applications such as parts for air ducts
Hardness:
50D

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.
