- House Wrap Application Data
Details
The roofing membrane uses the EM400+UV MB and EM402-L, whereas the house wrap uses PL381 and PM381.
Benefits
- Arnitel® offers intrinsic breathability at the same level of TPU
- Arnitel® allows for the possibility to run at lower film thickness and at higher extrusion speed versus TPU, which allows for a lower cost system
- Arnitel® has a commercial track record for over 20 years
- Breathable Films For Food Packaging Application Data
Details
Akulon® PA6 used in barrier films for food packaging.Benefits
Arnitel® TPC allows for reliable solutions, since it yields a breathable film that balances the application-specific gas mixture of O2 and CO₂, and the moisture inside the package- Mandrels as Supportive Tool Application Data
Details
Peroxide resistant Arnitel® mandrels for rubber and elastomer hose manufacturingBenefits
- Arnitel® (TPE) offers in extrusion lower torque and better stability measured in tolerances
- Easier to extract the mandrels from the tubes than alternative materials
- Cost reduction compared by increasing the number of re-use cycles (raw material and waste saving)
- Infusion Membrane Bags Application Data
Details
The Arnitel® based films are used as the outside layer of the composite production structure (boats, aeronautics) referred to as vacuum bagging film or infusion membrane.Benefits
- Arnitel® TPC allow for reliable solutions due its excellent balance of properties including chemical resistance, flexibility and resistance to degradation during curing
- Arnitel® TPC allow for cost effective solutions due its ease of processing and
- 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
