Hi Everyone....
My Plastics molder says that Hytrel is the right elastomer to use for our application but because we only need a small quantity we might as well forget asking Dupont. What other alternatives are in the Co-Polyester family that might be more readily available and perhaps cheaper than Dupont? I am likely to use a Eastman Tritan COPE for a transparent hard lens and then need to overmould a gasget wall around the edge of the lense. We want the gasket to be fully bonded to the hard substrate so there is no chance of peeiling or seperation in the 5 years life of the product.
