I’ve been experimenting with Hytrel 5526 for some custom bike grips. The grip and comfort are top-notch. It’s got this rubbery feel but doesn’t wear down as fast as other materials I’ve used. Plus, it doesn’t get sticky in the sun, which is a huge win.

Compared to other TPEE options, Hytrel 5526 has superior chemical resistance and toughness. We tested it in harsh environments, and it didn’t degrade like some others did.
Theresa W Chavez –
TPE is pretty good at mimicking some of the qualities of silicone though so I’d keep looking at that material and trying shores under 40A
Theda F Folkerts –
TPEE like PA5526 is what I needed for a long time. I tried making a flexible yet durable phone case, and this material nailed it. Unlike the softer ones I’ve used before, it doesn’t stretch out of shape after weeks of use.
Amy A Shields –
TPE is a fantastic material for quick DIY fixes. I made some replacement grips for my tools, and they feel way better than the originals. Soft, but not mushy—it’s got just the right amount of give without compromising strength.
Margie Drennon –
TPEE is a great middle ground between rubber-like flexibility and thermoplastic strength. We’ve had excellent results using it for cable coatings where flexibility under repeated bending is crucial.
Theresa Chavez –
It’s way easier to work with than some other flexible filaments. The prints come out smooth, and they don’t warp as much. I’ve made everything from phone stands to custom shoe insoles with it.
Eric Hale –
TPE is such a versatile plastic. I used it to fix my car’s cup holder—it’s flexible enough to fit into weird gaps but tough enough to hold its shape. Way better than rigid plastic for this kind of job.
Theresa Chavez –
We prefer TPEE for high-wear applications. Unlike standard TPE, it doesn’t degrade as quickly under UV exposure or heat. We tested both for outdoor components, and TPEE maintained integrity far longer.

I tried Hytrel 5526 for a custom watch strap, and it’s been amazing. The material is lightweight, flexible, and doesn’t irritate my skin. It’s also super easy to clean. I’m definitely using it for future projects!
