- Convoluted Tubes for Automotive Application Data
Details
Arnitel® convoluted tubing is used in class-D and class-E cable trees. The primary purpose is usage in high temperature areas of the car.
Benefits
- Arnitel® offers a high continuous use temperature (>150C)
- Arnitel® is easily extrudable into low wall thickness
- Arnitel® has flame retardant grades available
- Brake Tubing With Arnitel® CM622 Application Data
Benefits
- Arnitel® TPC allows for light weight solutions (75% lighter compared to rubber)
- Arnitel® TPC allows for cost effective solutions (up to 50% lower system costs than rubber)
- Arnitel® TPC allows for sustainable solutions (compared to PA12, Arnitel is a plasticizer free solution)
- Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions due to its peak temperatures resistance up to 180°C – 200°C and its good heat aging due to continuous use temperatures 120°C – 170°C
- Wire and Cable Insulation Application Data
Details
Arnitel® UM551 in use for convoluted tubes or cable protection under-the-bonnet.Benefits
- Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions due its high temperature resistance (class T3 and T4, Class D (150°C) enabling thin and ultra thin wall designs, Class E (175°C) >20 mm2 thick and thin wall)
- Arnitel® TPC allows for cost effective solutions (up to 50% lower system costs versus ETFE/FEP, 40% weight down versus XL PO at similar costs)
- Arnitel® TPC allows for sustainable solutions due to availability of halogen free flameretardant grades
