You wouldn’t necessarily associate intricate and beautiful perfume bottles with next-generation thermoplastics. However, Arnite® has proven to be an ideal solution for this industry thanks to its many superior properties which give it the look and feel of an expensive ceramic.
The world’s major perfume brands are selling a scent. But the look and feel of their packaging is of immense importance. Perfume bottles are not always made entirely of glass and bottle lids are often made from other materials, like plastic. The challenge is finding a material that not only protects the perfume, but also looks and feels good.
Arnite has proven to be an ideal perfume bottle material for one major brand. The material is extremely tough and difficult to dent or scratch. Yet…it can be molded into the most intricate and sophisticated designs with the look and feel of a ceramic with a natural off-white or ‘eggshell’ white color and an ‘organic’ feeling matt finish.
This unique thermoplastic is able to achieve all these things because of some outstanding properties – not least processing characteristics: It can be molded very easily and has excellent dimensional stability – which means less wastage and greater efficiency in the manufacturing process.
For headlamp frames Arnite is ideal thanks to its exceptionally low outgassing qualities – which is why Mercedes chose the material for its next generation of adaptive forward lighting modules.
Specifying the right materials for high-performance headlamps is traditionally difficult - requiring an expensive and heavyweight blend of products to tackle problems like outgassing, heat distortion and sun glare.
Arnite T is ideal for rear windscreen wiper housings, reducing production and assembly time as well as lowering vehicle weight. It’s why Valeo is now using the material in a range of Ford vehicles.
