Hello.
For a Product i used Hytrel Variants. Its quite good, quite elastic with good memory (keeps in shape), but in my mind not perfect. The price (8€/KG) is quite high (i thought so...) and it has a negative aspect: When you press the products with your fingernail,the "dents" (little holes) stay (not like conventional Rubber, where the holes disappear because of the elasticity) and when you use the product gets sharp edges because of the abrasion. Hard to explain... But now i want to try an alternative Product, which should be very flexible (keep the shape) and is available in small amounts.
I saw in this Forum that Ritefley could be an Alternative. Ok, it is also an TPE based on PBT, but the only seller (from china, "TICONA" on the package...)offers it me for 25€/kg ! Thats not cheaper than Hytrel... Is this correct? Is Ritefley much more expensive? And if yes, why? Does it has a better quality and perhaps not the bad Material aspect i saw at Hytrel? Do you know other alternatives?
