The versatility of ARLEN™, a heat resistant modified polyamide 6T, enables
automotive engineers to adapt the material to meet sophisticated engineering demands,
rigid safety standards and demanding performance requirements of the engine.
The heat resistant modified polyamide 6T A/G and AE series are designed to meet specific mechanical, structural and tribological application requirements of under the hood parts including:
 • Cooling system
parts
• Cylinder head covers
• Thermostat cases
• Roller/Pulley parts
• Hydraulic system
pistons
• Oil pump housings
With a high melting point (320°C) and a rigidity level comparable to super
engineering plastics, this high temperature resistant polyamide possesses strong
dimensional stability and chemical resistance that makes it ideally suited to
use in automotive applications. The engineering plastic's design flexibility stems
from its excellent thermal, mechanical and chemical properties, which enables
manufacturers to meet emerging performance and environmental challenges.
