Arnitel TPC, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, is used as a lighter, smarter, greener material alternative to conventional rubbers. Because of its excellent characteristics, it offers design engineers exceptional flexibility—giving them the freedom to implement the most innovative product concepts.
Arnitel has a broad range of hardnesses, making it capable to replace rubbers, metals, leather and other thermoplastics. This thermoplastic elastomer delivers superior chemical resistance, along with heat and wear resistance, plus the ability to be recycled.
Identification
Features & Benefits
Applications & Uses
Arnitel® is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with high temperature resistance, good processability and excellent elastic behavior. Arnitel® belongs to the TPE subcategory of thermoplastic copolyesters (TPC).
Elasticity
Arnitel® is a thermoplastic elastomer that combines the easy process of thermoplastics with the elasticity of a rubber. The soft Arnitel® show excellent elasticity and can be used as elastic fibers.
Thermal
Arnitel® is extensively used in applications over a very wide range of temperatures. Arnitel® retains its mechanical properties at very low temperatures of -45°C right up to 150°C.
