Hytrel 3078HS

About this product

Common features of Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer include mechanical and physical properties such as
exceptional toughness and resilience, high resistance to creep, impact and flex fatigue, flexibility at low temperatures and
good retention of properties at elevated temperatures. In addition, it resists many industrial chemicals, oils and solvents.
Special grades include heat stabilised, flame retardant, food contact compliant, blow molding and extrusion grades.
Concentrates offered include black pigments, UV protection additives, heat stabilisers, and flame retardants.

Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer is plasticiser free.

The good melt stability of Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer normally enables the recycling of properly handled
production waste. If recycling is not possible, we recommend, as the preferred option, incineration with energy recovery (-24
kJ/g of base polymer) in appropriately equipped installations.
For disposal, local regulations have to be observed.

Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer typically is used in demanding applications in the automotive, fluid power,
electrical/electronic, consumer goods, appliance and power tool, sporting goods, furniture, industrial and off-road
transportation/equipment industry.

Hytrel® 3078HS BKB320 is a low modulus, heat stabilized grade with nominal hardness of 30D. It is a cube blend of
Hytrel® 3078 and Hytrel® 40CB and Hytrel® 30HS. It can be processed by many conventional thermoplastic
processing techniques like injection molding and extrusion.
