- Resin
- Bio-Based Panliners Application Data
Arnitel® Eco TPC allows for more sustainable solutions, since it offers 65% CO₂ reduction compared to conventional materails and sincefood does not stick to the panliner made in Arnitel® Eco. Arnitel® Eco TPC allows for more reliable solutions due to its extremely durability and temperature resistance up to 200°C
- Plastics and Elastomers Processing Methods
- Extrusion
- Smokable Sausage Casings Application Data
Arnitel® TPC and Akulon® PA6 allow for reliable solutions since they yield excellent smoke penetration leading to great taste and sausage structure and high quality. Arnitel® TPC and Akulon® PA6 allow for sustainable solutions, since they are free of substances of hazardous concerns and thus more environmentally friendly than cellulose casings
- Snowboard Cover Laminates Application Data
Arnitel® TPC EM740 allows for reliable solutions due to its combination of a Shore D hardness of 74, its superior cold temperature impact resistance and fatigue endurance and due to its good UV resistance. Arnitel® TPC EM740 allows for cost effective solutions since it can be bonded well to the board substrate
