Arnite® A for dimension-critical auto parts reduces weight and cost

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.
