Arnitel® E1-UV

UV Masterbatch, 30% Active UV 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. Arnitel® has an intrinsic stability against UV, however if high UV performance is required we advise to use the UV stabilization masterbatch Arnitel® E1-UV. The figure on the next page shows the reference UV stability and the effect of adding different amounts of Arnitel® E1-UV to different Arnitel® E types. In the graph the effect of UV ageing according to the UV test PSA D27 1389 at different masterbatch loadings (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-UV can be used for injection molding and extrusion applications. It is based on an Arnitel® carrier and shows good dispersion in any Arnitel® type.
