EPAMOULD 80 HS

EPAMOULD 80 HS is a polyester based thermoplastic polyurethane with excellent physical and mechanical properties, very good wear resistance, resistance to oils and greases, improved hydrolysis resistance and good transparency.
We recommend using EPAMOULD 80 HS for injection molding processes, such as production of footwear components and technical parts.

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 80 HS is hygroscopic and therefore has to be dried before use. The recommended drying conditions are 2-3 hours at 70 - 80°C in a desiccant dryer.
