HYTREL®

---

Hytrel is a copolyester elastomer that demonstrates excellent low temperature flex characteristics as well as the ability to perform at a considerably higher temperature level than our standard 83A PYRATHANE.

Temperatures as low as -40 F and as high as +200 F are possible.

Hytrel has excellent resistance to a wider variety of chemicals allowing its use in applications urethanes could not tolerate.

Belts of both flat and round configurations can be manufactured of the Hytrel material.

As the modulus of Hytrel is considerably higher than our 83A material, we would recommend an initial stretch of approximately 5% which still provides more tension than our PYRATHANE 83A.

Hytrel can sometimes provide necessary low temperature flexibility or chemical tolerance which may offset its poorer abrasion resistance.

When considering Hytrel for your application, only the general information provided in our product brochure will be applicable. Please call us with any questions.

This material is a more specialized version of our PYRATHANE products family and therefore a modest upcharge is associated with it.
