Chosen for its outstanding dimensional stability and electrical properties, Arnite is a high-reliability PET material.
Arnite is a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) engineering plastic developed by Envalior, offering excellent dimensional stability, electrical properties, and heat resistance. Thanks to its low moisture absorption, Arnite is highly resistant to humidity-induced dimensional changes, making it ideal for precision electrical and automotive electronic components. Arnite provides a well-balanced combination of stiffness and durability, maintaining stable mechanical properties over long service life. The portfolio includes unreinforced, glass-fiber-reinforced, flame-retardant, heat-resistant, and hydrolysis-resistant grades, enabling optimized material selection for a wide range of applications. With excellent reproducibility in mass production and stable molding behavior, Arnite supports consistent quality and reliable manufacturing. It is a trusted PET solution for applications requiring both high reliability and productivity.

basic information
Arnite is based on PET chemistry and is available in unreinforced, glass-fiber-reinforced (typically GF10–40%), flame-retardant, heat-resistant, and hydrolysis-resistant grades. Its low moisture absorption ensures outstanding dimensional stability with minimal property variation over time. Mechanically, Arnite offers balanced tensile strength and high flexural stiffness. Glass-fiber-reinforced grades provide enhanced rigidity and low creep, supporting stable performance in snap-fit and fastening designs. Thermally, Arnite has a melting point of approximately 250–260 °C and high heat deflection temperatures suitable for automotive and electrical applications. It also shows excellent resistance to thermal aging and heat cycling. Arnite exhibits good resistance to oils, fuels, coolants, cleaning agents, and various chemicals. Hydrolysis-resistant grades maintain stable properties even under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. Arnite also delivers excellent electrical insulation and tracking resistance, with UL94 V-0 flame-retardant grades available. Its good injection-molding processability ensures stable appearance, dimensional accuracy, and consistent quality in mass production.
