General Information

Arnitel® is a high-performance ThermoPlastic Copolyester (TPC) that offers you a unique combination of flexibility, high temperature resistance and strength - plus excellent processing characteristics.
In industries ranging from automotive to E&E, Arnitel® is increasingly being as a lighter, smarter, greener alternative to conventional rubbers – reducing environmental impact and ultimately, system costs.
The product is supported by an experienced and knowledgeable global team continuously working on new ideas and applications, as well as exploring new markets. By listening to your needs and understanding your process and products, we develop solutions that make a real difference.
Product
Arnitel EL150 is a very low modulus grade with nominal hardness of 20D. Material can be processed by many conventional thermoplastics processing techniques such as injection molding. 
It is important to note that in a certain periods, clumps can be formed due to excessive storage conditions such as packing type, stacking, extreme temperature. Pl. refer injection molding recommendations
