Arnitel® EL150/U

Chemical Family: Polyesters

Arnitel® EL150/U stands out as a very low modulus grade with a nominal hardness of 20D. It offers the same advantages of flexibility, high-temperature resistance, and strength, alongside excellent processing properties. This grade is chosen as a lighter, more intelligent, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional rubbers in industries like automotive and E&E, effectively reducing environmental impact and system costs. It can be processed using various thermoplastic techniques, including injection molding. However, it's essential to be cautious of clumping issues resulting from excessive storage conditions. Additionally, this grade is UV stabilized or weather-stable.
