Arnitel® EL550 by Envalior is a high-performance, impact modified thermoplastic co-polyester (TPC) grade. It is suitable for processing by injection molding. Possesses flexibility, strength, excellent processing characteristics, excellent mechanical properties, excellent elasticity, good resistance in heat aging tests and permeability to water vapor. Shows high temperature-, thermal-, UV-, fungus- and fatigue resistance. Offers chemical resistance against household chemicals like cleaning agents, sunscreen lotion and automotive greases and oils. Arnitel® EL550 shows very low oxygen permeability combined with very high carbon dioxide permeability for usage in fruit and vegetable film packaging. It can withstand very high burst pressures and retains its properties better at higher temperatures than PA 12. Used in furniture, pumps & valves in industrial equipments, sports & leisure. Meets ISO 18064 for TPC-ET.
