- Truck Trailer Power and Signal Cord Application Data
Details
Application with a perfect match for the Arnitel® performance. Being outdoor in UV, surviving many years in operation, securing power and signal transfer from truck to trailer.
Benefits
- Arnitel® offers great outdoor and chemical resistance
- Arnitel® has excellent coil retention
- Power Transmission Belts Application Data
Details
Extruded profiles used in conveying i.e. tiles and other larger components through factories. The strength of Arnitel® in such applications is the combination of high temperature resistance and creep, leading to less servicing.
Benefits
- Arnitel® is extrudable in all dimensions
- Arnitel® offers coloring in nearly any color available
- Arnitel® offers a wide range of FDA and medical approvals
- Arnitel® has high creep retention properties
- Industrial Cords and Ropes Application Data
Details
Arnitel® offers the perfect anti-corrosion solution for steel cables used in off-shore industry, like drilling rigs and larger sea vessels. Arnitel® protects the steel from damage due to metal to metal contact and wear, leading to a much longer lifetime.
Benefits
- Arnitel® has a proven track record in off shore cables
- Arnitel® material is suitable for most extrusion techniques
- Arnitel® offers excellent colorability
- Railway Buffers Application Data
Details
Arnitel® is a thermoplastic co-polyester with a very high temperature resistance. Arnitel® ECO TPC is a biobased alternative.Benefits
- Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions due to its strength and elastic properties needed to withstand the forces required in the draft gear
- Arnitel® TPC allow for cost effective solutions, since it does not require additional production processes that are required with competing materials as rubbers
- Seat Suspension/Fabrics Application Data
Details
Akulon® PA6 approved for chair bases and frames. Arnitel® ECO is a biobased alternative.Benefits
- Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions due to its retention of flexibility even at temperatures down to -40°C or at elevated temperatures up to 100 ˚C
- Arnitel® TPC allows for solutions with nice toch & feel characteristics
