EPAMOULD 260 D 12

EPAMOULD 260 D 12 is a polyester based thermoplastic polyurethane with excellent physical and mechanical properties, resistance to oils and greases, improved hydrolysis resistance, high crystallisation rate and very good wear resistance.
We recommend using EPAMOULD 260 D 12 for injection molding processes, such as production of technical parts and footwear components.

Values shown are based on testing of laboratory test specimens, conditioned at 70°C for 14 hours, and represent data that fall within the standard range of properties for the natural material. They are not intended for use in establishing maxiumum, minimum or range of values for specification purpose.

Material preparation

EPAMOULD 260 D 12 is hygroscopic and therefore has to be dried before use. The recommended drying conditions are 2-3 hours at 210 - 230°F in a desiccant dryer.
