Details
Different Arnitel® grades used in VR headware, combining the excellent skin chemical resistance with comfort, durability and manufacture ability.
Benefits
- Arnitel® offers high elasticity, low creep and high chemical resistance
- Arnitel® offers excellent bonding to substrates like PC without adhesives
- Arnitel® has no skin sensitivity issues
- Conveyor Belts 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, due to its excellent resistance to oxidizing agents and no emission of nitrogen as TPU and due to its wide direct food contact approvals (FDA/EC compliancy)- Optical Fiber Cable Guides and Connectors Application Data
Details
Components used during installation of optical fiber networks inside buildings, the components protect the optical fibers from damaging our pressure, both leading to signal loss, during installation and use.
Benefits
- Arnitel® offers high flexibility in combination with excellent dimensional stability
- Arnitel® allows for ultra thin walls, enabling low cost connectors
- Arnitel® offers easy coloring
- 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
- Spider Couplings Application Data
Details
A spider coupling ensures misalignment in metal shaft connections does not affect the lifetime of the couplers. In essence, the spider coupling dampens the initial hit when the shafts start to rotate.
Benefits
- Arnitel® offers high load bearing capabilities at high temperature
- Arnitel® offers excellent low temperature ductility
- Arnitel® has good chemical resistance
- Arnitel® has excellent fatigue properties
- 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
