PEBAX® MH 1657

PEBAX® MH 1657 resin is a thermoplastic elastomer made of flexible polyether and rigid polyamide. Pebax® MH 1657 resin is an inherently dissipative polymer and can be dry blended or compounded with an isolative polymer to lower the surface resistivity of the final part. This hydrophilic grade when extruded into either a thin film or laminated on to a substrate also offers excellent permeability to moisture vapor while remaining waterproof.
