High performance polyester compounds (PET, PBT and blends), combining excellent flow with good mechanical strength.
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 & electronic and consumer goods applications. A wide portfolio of Arnite is available including unreinforced, reinforced and flame retardant grades.
Arnite A is high-performance polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with an increasingly wide range of applications – from automotive to lighting. Thanks to its excellent mechanical performance, heat resistance and dimensional stability, Arnite A is perfect for metal replacement offering significant weight, carbon – and cost – reductions.
Arnite polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is an extremely versatile high-performance thermoplastic with a wide range of grades. It’s also halogen-free, which provides a major boost for manufacturers looking for a sustainable solution.

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.
