Arnitel® E1-Heat

Heat Stabilizing Masterbatch, 30% Active heat stabilizing ingredients, TPC based

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
Envalior offers a complete portfolio of thermoplastic polyester elastomers. These materials, sold under the trade name Arnitel®, combine excellent flexibility at low temperatures (down to -50oC) with good heat resistance. For critical applications, the heat resistance can be further improved by using the Arnitel® E1-HEAT masterbatch. Standard Arnitel® grades have sufficient heat stability for most applications, however some applications like hoses, beltings or seals and gaskets may require an improved heat stability. Arnitel® U and Arnitel® C grades, Envalior's thermoplastic polyesterester elastomers with standard heat resistance above 3000 hours at 150°C, need no additional heat stabilization. The figure on the next page shows the reference heat stability and the effect of adding 2.5% of Arnitel® E1-HEAT. In the graphs, the effect of thermo-oxidative ageing at different temperatures (x-axis) on the half life time (HLT) of the elongation at break of ISO 527 1BA tensile bars is given. HLT is defined as the time point where the elongation is 50% of the original value. Arnitel® E1-HEAT can be used for injection molding and extrusion applications. It is based on an Arnitel® carrier and shows good dispersion in any Arnitel® type. Arnitel® E1-HEAT can be used in natural and colored applications. For non-black applications, some discoloration as a result of the stabilizing package has to be taken into account.

Not recommended to use in Food contact applications.
