Cost Effective and High Performance Solution for Tubes & Hoses
Tubes and hoses developers and manufacturers in the automotive and heavy-duty industry are searching for high performance, where flexibility and temperature resistance are key.
|
However, they are also challenged to reduce their system cost.
Discover how the high performance TPC Arnitel ® can combine high performance with cost reduction in various tubes and hoses applications such as:
Vacuum brake tubes
Air brake tubes
Hydraulic hoses
Mandrels

System Cost Reduction with Arnitel® TPC
|
|
|
Compared with rubbers and PA11/12, Arnitel ® provides significant system cost reduction in tubes and hoses through:
 Material Cost Reduction: e.g. for vacuum tubes up to 30% of length reduction of the tube |
Function Integration: high heat resistance makes compact design possible, so e.g. no heat shield needed
Process Efficiency and Cycle Time Reduction:
 Plasticizer-free solution (less cleaning steps on manufacturing equipement vs. PA12)
No vulcanization is needed
