Arnitel® CM551

Arnitel® CM551 by DSM is a high-performance, heat-resistant, thermoplastic copolyester (TPC) elastomer. It is processed by extrusion and injection molding. It is a lighter, smarter, greener alternative to conventional rubbers thus, reducing environmental impact. This grade possesses flexibility, strength, excellent processing characteristics. It offers chemical resistance against household chemicals like cleaning agents, sunscreen lotion and automotive greases and oils. Arnitel® CM551 allows for reliable solutions due its high temperature resistance (class T3 and T4, Class D (150°C) enabling thin and ultra thin wall designs, Class E (175°C) >20 mm² thick and thin wall). It provides cost effective and sustainable solutions (up to 50% lower system costs versus ETFE/FEP, 40% weight down versus XL PO at similar costs. It is used in wire and cable insulation in automotive.
