Fiat approves “Arnitel” TPC for air duct applications
Blow moulding grade “Arnitel” PB500-H TPC from DSM Engineering Plastics (Sittard / The Netherlands; www.dsm.com) has been approved by Fiat for dirty and clean air ducts on its 1.3 JTD engines used in the “Minicargo” and Lancia “Epsilon” models. Dirty air ducts convey the air before the air filter and clean air ducts are situated in the engine between the air filter and the turbo-compressor.

DSM said the new grade is particularly suited for the blow moulding of complex shaped air duct applications in the automotive industry for use at continuous use temperatures (CUT) of 130 °C. The new material was developed by DSM in conjunction with Fiat and Tier 1 systems supplier Mecaplast (Monaco; www.mecaplastgroup.com).
