Benefits

Arnite® XL allows for 40-50% lighter weight solutions versus metal

Arnite® XL allows for reliable solutions due to its very low outgassing behavior ensuring good long term road visibility, its high dimensional stability (as compared to PA) resulting in less beam vibration (enabling switch to LED/Xenon and AFL/DBL)

Arnite® XL allows for cost effective solutions as compared with PPS and PPA
