Arnitel® TPC: A strong, flexible copolyester for high-performance applications

Arnitel is a unique Thermoplastic Copolyester Elastomer (TPC) offering flexibility in extreme circumstances.

Arnitel grades span a broad variety of applications where flexibility, durability, high and low temperature performance and/or mechanical strength are needed. This has been proven in solutions such as tubes and hoses in the automotive and other heavy-duty industry.

Arnitel has excellent high and low temperature performance: The material is used extensively in applications over a very wide range of temperatures while retaining its mechanical properties and resisting fatigue.

Arnitel is ideal for rubber replacement: Arnitel is more easy to process and more cost-efficient. Arnitel outperforms rubber in many cases due to its outstanding mechanical properties and ability to achieve optimal performance without extra processing associated with vulcanization.

The material is extremely resistant to chemicals and creep. Arnitel is well suited to automotive applications due to its resistance to chemicals and oils as well as its excellent creep resistance.

Extremely flexible processing: Arnitel can be injection molded, blow molded and extruded with a range of different grades available to suit individual manufacturers’ conversion processes.

Arnitel is a environmentally friendly solution: Through traditional recycling methods as well as innovative new methods of sustainability- in line with our goal of producing Living Solutions that benefit from people, profit and planet.
