Arnite (PBT, PET, and blends) are high-performance engineering plastics that combine high strength and rigidity with excellent processing characteristics. As a result, Arnite A (PET) and Arnite T (PBT) are well suited for a broad range of automotive, electrical and electronic, and consumer goods applications. A wide portfolio of Arnite is available, including unreinforced, reinforced and flame retardant grades.
Arnite polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is an excellent choice for a wide range of housing applications, including actuators and power steering enclosures.
Arnite polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has been trusted for more than 20 years in brake booster valve applications.
Arnite T is the material of choice for plug in connectors, bobbins and circuit breakers.
Arnite polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) maintains excellent dimensional stability combined with low outgassing that is key for automotive lighting applications.
Both PET and PBT need to be dried prior to injection molding, but PET requires an even lower moisture content than PBT. Because of low water absorption, Arnite has exceptional dimensional stability and high strength and stiffness at ambient conditions.

With close to 30,000 parts in a single vehicle, every element that can be converted from metal to plastic contributes to the reduction of weight. We launched Arnite A-X07455, the first high performance PET (polyethylene terephthalate) engineering plastic that is highly resistant to hydrolysis. This breakthrough development opens up opportunities for significant weight and cost benefits over metal in automobile engine compartment applications.
As the automotive industry begins to transition from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, we are also seeing major developments that improve the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines. DSM’s Arnite HR-PBT portfolio addresses these challenges.
