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 cost effective solutions since it yields thermoplastic processing advantages over rubber, resulting in faster cycle times in compraison with other TPE's
- Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions due to its high abrasion resistance, excellent load bearing capacity, great fatigue, and environmental resistance and due to a very consistent performance over temperature ranges from -55°C (-67°F) to +150°C (+300°F) and longest lifetime to failure as compared to any other rubber or class of TPE's used in this application
- Suit Case Handles Application Data
Details
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
- Bed Springs Application Data
Details
Arnitel® has broad portfolio in shore D hardness (38D-74D). So the parts can be molded in a different stiffness/ hardness for different zones of the bed.Benefits
- Arnitel® TPC allows for more design freedom, since due to high flow injection moldable viscosity grades, complex designs can be molded easily
- Arnitel® TPC allow for reliable solutions due to high flexibility in various temperature regimes, excellent colourability and color stability
