Details
Arnitel® has low viscosity grades which give excellent flow behavior for 2K-molding .Benefits
Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions because of its excellent adhesion with PBT in 2K injection molding, its superb scratch resistance (which make kitchen tools look better even after years of intensive usage), its chemical resistance (dish washer proof) and its approvals for direct food contact- Wine Taps Application Data
Details
The Wine Tap is used in bag and boxed wine packaging for distributing wine.Benefits
- Arnitel® has FDA approval for high alcohol contents and single use
- Arnitel® offers good elasticity and low hysteresis, resulting in good spring characteristics
- Arnitel® has good colorability with a stable white base color
- Support Springs Application Data
Details
Low creep flexing solution for slats and mattresses, creating ultimate sleep comfort by changing durometer per section of your bed.
Benefits
- Arnitel® has high creep resistance
- Arnitel® offers a wide range of flexible products, creating the ultimate solution
- Arnitel® offers easy processing, creating design flexibility
- DC Cables Application Data
Details
DC Cables are generally used for standard electronics charging systems, like adapters. The latest designs can also be used for USB-C charging, leading to much thinner cables than AC with similar charging and safety characteristics.
Benefits
- Arnitel® has a proven track record in wire and cable, also in ultra thin cables in all application areas
- Arnitel® offers a long history in commercial production and use in major electronics OEM
- Arnitel® solutions are known to most cable extrusion companies
- Arnitel® is easy to color with consistent haptics
- Outdoor Consumer Cables Application Data
Details
Thin low voltage consumer electornics cabling, used in the outdoor environment to accommodate the use of electronics in the field, i.e. camera's, sensors etc.
Benefits
- Arnitel® Wire & Cable grades exceed the UL758 for signal, AC and DC applications
- Arnitel® offers most colors possible without strong discoloration in UV
- Arnitel® has a long track record in outdoor applications
- Phone Case Application Data
Details
Product designers and manufacturers increasingly rely on thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material solutions to produce and deliver highly durable and high-quality soft touch parts. Compared to the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) materials traditionally used for soft-touch manufacturing, TPEs offer better resistance to warpage and fatigue, as well as better protection against UV, chemical, and oil exposure.Benefits
- Broad tactile properties with superior touch and feel
- Broadest operating temperature range from -45°C to 150°C
- High tear and abrasion resistance
- High fatigue endurance after 255 compression cycles
- Grips Application Data
Details
Grips are applicable to consumer appliances such as kitchenware, household utensils, hand tools, game controllers and much more. The material is usually overmolded on PC, PC/ABS or polyester.Benefits
- Arnitel® allows for excellent bonding in molding on miscellaneous in thin walls
- Arnitel® solution is dish washer proof and has good grease resistance
- Arnitel® solution offers good haptics
