What is Hytrel 60LW

With the increasing requirements for materials in industrial manufacturing and high-performance components, the wear resistance and processing adaptability of polymers have become key. Dupont's Hytrel 60LW, also known as TPC-ET 60LW, is a low-wear thermoplastic polyester elastomer with PTFE particles added. With its composite material structure and compatibility with various processing techniques, it has demonstrated unique advantages in the field of wear-resistant industrial components.

01 | Material Properties and Technical Analysis

Hytrel 60LW belongs to the thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPC-ET) series, with its core feature being the significant improvement in wear resistance achieved through the addition of PTFE particles. Its granular form supports a variety of moulding processes, including injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, calendering, thermoforming, casting, resin transfer moulding, and coating, to meet the needs of different industrial applications.

Low Wear Performance

  ・PTFE's self-lubricating properties, combined with lubricants and release agents, effectively reduce the material's coefficient of friction, resulting in Hytrel 60LW exhibiting low wear in practical applications. Its flame test burn rate was 80 mm/min, demonstrating excellent flame retardancy and safety.

Stable Thermal Properties

  ・The material's melt temperature is 210°C, making it suitable for a variety of industrial processing environments. Its melt index is 6 cm³/10min (220°C/2.16kg), ensuring excellent flowability and facilitating molding.

Lightweight Advantages

  ・With a melt density of only 0.91 g/cm³, the material is lighter than traditional rubber and some thermoplastic elastomers, helping to reduce the weight of finished products and increase design flexibility.

02 | Process Compatibility and Processing Advantages

The Hytrel 60LW is compatible with multiple processing techniques, offering manufacturers flexible options

Injection molding and extrusion molding

  ・It is suitable for manufacturing seals, buffers and mechanical parts with complex structures and fine details.

Blow molding and calendering forming

  ・It can be used to produce wear-resistant and elastic films and pipes, and is widely applied in packaging and conveying systems.

Resin transfer molding (RTM) and casting molding

  ・Improve the production efficiency of composite materials and expand the application of Hytrel 60LW in the field of high-performance composites.

Coating process

  ・By taking advantage of the lubricating properties of PTFE, the surface wear resistance is enhanced and it is suitable for wear-resistant coatings.

03 | Application Fields and Industry Trends

With its advantages of low wear and processing adaptability, Hytrel 60LW is widely used in multiple industries:

Industria del automóvil

  ・It is applicable to the sheaths of transmission belts, bearing protection sleeves and seals, which can extend the service life of components and reduce the frequency of maintenance.

Industrial machinery

  ・The ideal material for gear sleeves, sliding parts and wear-resistant liners, enhancing the operational stability of equipment.

Consumer electronics and household appliances

  ・Friction components, protective sleeves and buffer parts, combined with flame-retardant performance, ensure safe use.

Medical devices

  ・Low-wear precision moving parts ensure the stability and durability of the equipment.

With the advancement of green manufacturing and sustainable development concepts, material lightweighting and durability have become the focus of the industry. Hytrel 60LW, with its advantages of low density and low wear, helps enterprises reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, aligning with future industrial trends.
