Featured Supplier: Celanese

Hytrel® TPC from Celanese combines the flexibility of rubber with the strength and processability of thermoplastics. Manufacturers prefer parts made with Hytrel® TPC for their resilience and heat and chemical resistance, as well as their strength and durability. Hytrel® TPC drives innovative design, enabling the development of unique parts with superior performance characteristics.

Features:

• Flexibility & Resilience: Hytrel® TPC flexes and recovers, providing excellent flex fatigue and tear resistance, low hysteresis and spring-like properties.
• Strength & Abrasion Resistance: Hytrel® TPC offers exceptional toughness, impact, and creep resistance.
• Easy Processing: Hytrel® TPC can be processed by injection, blow or rotational techniques; it can be extruded into tubes, profiles, fibers/filaments, sheet, blown or cast film, web coating, nonwovens, and wire and cable jacketing.
• Broad Service Temperature: Flexibility at low temperatures, and good retention of mechanical properties at high temperatures. (-40°C to 150°C).
• Chemical Resistance: Hytrel® TPC stands up to oils, fuels, hydrocarbon-based solvents and many other chemicals.
• Enables Overmolding & Innovative Designs: Hytrel® TPC is compatible with other thermoplastics such as PC, ABS and polyesters, allowing over-molding and coextrusion.
• Allows Rework & Recycling: The exceptional melt stability and thermoplastic nature of Hytrel® TPC allow the recycling of processing scrap. Hytrel® TPC can be reground and blended with virgin polymer.
• Sustainability: Based on a biomass approach, the newest Hytrel® TPC grades are true drop-in replacements with no need to requalify products or retool.
