Properties

Elasticity

Arnitel is a thermoplastic elastomer that combines the easy process of thermoplastics with the elasticity of a rubber. The soft Arnitels show excellent elasticity and can be used as elastic fibers.

Thermal

Arnitel is extensively used in applications over a very wide range of temperatures. Arnitel retains its mechanical properties at very low temperatures of -45°C right up to 150°C.

Heat ageing

The Arnitel C series shows outstanding high heat ageing properties and meets the most stringent performance and compliance needs, including hydrolysis and abrasion resistance. This series meets the severe ISO 6277 class D requirements for automotive wire and cable.
