Thermoplastic polyester.


Hytrel is a thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene.  polyester elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  of high durability and flexibility, according to the company. Hytrel belts are available with or without carcass reinforcement. Properties of Hytrel are said to include abrasion resistance, very good long term fatigue resistance, flexibility at temperature as low as -40[degrees]C (-40[degrees]F), good tear resistance, minor loss of tension during operation, very good resistance to microbes and weather, and very good resistance to mineral oils, grease, water, alcohols and glycols, according to the company. Hytrel belts are available in various combinations to address durometer hardness, temperature range, antistatic Eliminating or reducing static electricity. See static electricity, antistatic bag, antistatic device, antistatic liquid and antistatic wristband.  properties, coefficients of friction, shaft loads, and color and surface properties. Belts made of Hytrel are used with fixed shaft centers, as matched sets, and have excellent running properties, according to the company.
