Proven by decades on the road

The inherent wear resistance and strain elasticity of DuPont™ Hytrel® combined with its superior mechanical properties, grease resistance, and flex fatigue help improve the durability of constant velocity joint (CVJ) boots. The vehicle’s rotating shaft also is protected from road debris and axle grease.

After more than 30 years of development experience and over one billion CVJ boots manufactured with DuPont materials, we continue to evolve our non-squeak materials for electric vehicles. Processed via press-blow, injection-blow or direct-injection molding, our materials also offer high-flow and high- temperature-resistant materials with good fatigue performance and grease compatibility.

Typical applications include:

• Front and rear driveline half-shaft outboard and inboard CVJ boots
• Stabilizer link dust cover bellows
• Steering rack and pinion boots
• Suspension dust cover bellows, jounce bumpers, rebound bumpers, and air springs
• Transmission propeller shaft boots
