COEXFlex 60D is a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TPC). It flexes like TPU, but prints faster and has more strength, heat resistance and chemical resistance. 60D is the firmest grade in the COEXFlex line. Use it for parts that need to flex and bend repeatedly: grips, protective cases, seals, gaskets and functional prototypes.

| Engineering controls | Provide exhaust ventilation if dust or fumes are generated during processing. |
| Personal protection | Respiratory protection: Additives in this product do not present a respiration hazard unless the product is ground to a powder of respirable size and the dust is inhaled. All dusts are potentially injurious to the respiratory tract if respirable particles are generated and inhaled. A respiratory protection program that meets country requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by the manufacturer. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if exposure levels are not known or there are any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. Consult the OSHA respiratory protection information located at 29CFR 1910.134. Hand protection: Wear leather or cotton gloves when grinding, sawing, routing, drilling or sanding. When handling hot material, use heat resistant gloves. Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields. Wear tightly fitting chemical splash goggles and face shield when possibility exists for eye and face contact due to spattering or splashing of molten material. A full-face mask respirator provides protection from eye irritation. Skin and body protection: If there is a potential for contact with hot/molten material wear heat resistant clothing and footwear. |
