Details

Arnitel® is a high-performance thermoplastic copolyester (TPC) offering the elasticity of rubber with the toughness of engineering plastics. It's ideal for CVJ boots, bellows, air ducts, hoses, and suspension components. Designed to handle extreme operating conditions, Arnitel® resists oils, grease, high temperatures, and repeated mechanical stress. Compared to CR, NBR, and silicone rubbers, it provides longer service life, improved design flexibility, and recyclability. With grades engineered for dry-run anti-squeak, diaphragm injection molding, and thin-wall applications, Arnitel® delivers value, performance, and sustainability.
