Processing Arnitel®

Arnitel can be injection molded, blow molded and extruded. There are different grades available to suit these separate conversion processes.

The world’s best precision component manufacturers prefer Arnitel over competition because of Arnitel's ease of molding. Arnitel does not flash and has very high crystallization rates which ensure high rates of cooling. The low melt viscosity of Arnitel results in energy savings due to the lower injection pressures. Lower pressures also enable the molding of intricate components, with lower tonnage machines.

Arnitel is the best solution for manufacturing low noise gears

Also extrusion processors prefer to use Arnitel because of the higher throughputs that are possible with Arnitel due to its high crystallinity and the faster cooling rates that are possible as well as the availability of grades developed specifically for processing via extrusion.
Processing temperatures for Arnitel are in the range of 200°C to 250°C with mold temperatures of around 50°C.
