Cold Charged Air Ducts Application Data

Details

Also injection molding grades are available

Benefits

• Akulon® PA6 and Arnitel® TPC allow for light weight solutions as compared to metal or rubber
• Akulon® PA6 and Arnitel® TPC allow for for cost effective solutions (Akulon lowers system cost up to 20% versus metal)
• Akulon® PA6 and Arnitel® TPC allow for for reliable solutions due to their high temperature resistance

Clean Air Inlet Ducts Application Data

Details

Blow molding grades and injection molding grades are available. For even higher temperatures Diablo grades are available.

Benefits

• Arnitel® TPC allows for light weight solutions (50% lighter than rubber)
• Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions due to its perfect combination of high (aging) temperature resistance and good flexibility and chemical resistance
• Akulon® PA6 allows for light weight solutions (50% lighter than metal) and for more rigid duct solutions.
