Industrial Cords and Ropes

Industry
Industrial equipment
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.}

Mandrels as Supportive Tool

Industry
Industrial equipment
Peroxide resistant Arnitel® mandrels for rubber and elastomer hose manufacturing}

Power transmission belts

Industry
Industrial equipment
Extruded profiles used in conveying i.e. tiles and other larger components through factories. The strength of Arnitel in such applications is the combination of high temperature resistance and creep, leading to less servicing.}

Vacuum Bags

Industry
Consumer goods
Vacuum bags are used in various household applications, for which Arnitel is perfectly suitable in offering a solution.}
