Envalior showcased Arnitel® thermoplastic copolyester (TPC) materials at Pack Expo International 2024, highlighting applications across medical, food packaging, consumer goods, and building and construction industries. These materials are known for their breathability, moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), and eco-friendliness, offering durability and protection while meeting the highest industry standards.
Envalior revealed innovative applications and technologies at Fakuma 2024, Europe’s premier trade fair for industrial plastics processing, held from October 15-19 in Friedrichshafen, Germany. We also highlighted our commitment to sustainability, circularity, and innovation in the engineering materials solutions industry.

No matter what design challenge you face, discover how you can tap into the expertise and technology you need to find the optimal material solutions. Join us for a comprehensive overview to help you achieving your ideal design.
Creep is a time dependent deformation process that happens to materials under a certain stress level. However, with proper design and material choices, thermoplastics can be a suitable material for parts with a creep load. Predictability is key when designing load-bearing components. It reduces development time, enables first-time right design and ensures part performance in service. In this Use Case we evaluated an example of creep of a compression limiter. Focusing on the modelling of creep as function of time of injection molded short-glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (SFRP).
Fatigue is concerned with alternating or cyclic loads, even when the load levels are well below the strength of the applied material. Depending on the component, over time such a load will lead to part failure. Based on conducting extensive experiments, we developed a robust framework considering all essential aspects for fatigue. This Use Case focuses on results of our fatigue/lifetime modelling framework for injection molded glass-fiber reinforced plastics, using the example of the load bracket demonstrator.
Ventilator tubing is a bacterial breeding ground, increasing the risk of ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP). Many patients on ventilators in ICUs suffer from this. Most current breathing circuits are made from non-breathable materials. Thankfully, there is a material that enables permeation of moisture directly out through tubing walls. Envalior’s Arnitel® offers a superior engineering material solution with ultra-high moisture vapor transmission rates.
As radars become more compact in all three dimensions while operating at higher power, thermal management and EMI shielding solutions based on engineering materials solutions become more essential. Envalior offers a complete laser weldable material portfolio for radomes and back covers, ranging from pbt to low dk/df pps up to highly conductive pps compounds. While Envalior continues Xytron innovation, we also leverage the proven properties of Arnite PBT in radar applications.
Climate change and depleting resources are key environmental themes for future material use. A shift to a circular economy, where suppliers become users and consumers suppliers, is imminent, and companies must drive this change economically. In medical applications, re-use and refurbishment will extend product life and reduce resource pressure, while new product manufacturing will remain essential. Both cycles are crucial for the future.
Globally, electric energy consumption is expected to double by 2050. This is due in large part to the growth of sustainability focused technologies, including smart grids, electric cars and connected homes. To meet increasing demands and the need for more sustainable power systems, power distribution providers work closely with equipment manufacturers to optimize compact electrical systems – including low voltage switch gears for residential and industrial electrical distribution. Designed to handle more power, low voltage switch gears are highly durable, and better integrate with next-generation electrical distribution technology.
