TECAPEEK PEEK material (chemically known as polyetheretherketone) is manufactured by Ensinger in standard stock shapes for machining, and is extruded in sheet, rod and tube using Victrex PEEK polymer. Well known for its high temperature resistance, PEEK is a unique semi-crystalline, engineering thermoplastic that also offers excellent chemical compatibility. Parts manufactured from high temperature plastic PEEK polymer can operate at temperatures up to 260C (480F) and has a melting point around 341C (646F). PEEK plastic is often used in hot water or steam environments while maintaining physical properties such as flexural and tensile strength on a high level. Polyetheretherketone is often viewed as one of the engineering thermoplastics that tends to command a high price, however experienced users have come to realize the added value that PEEK materials bring, by offering the possibility of manufacturing parts that are lighter, stronger and able to survive longer in harsh environments.

TECATRON PPS is a high performance thermoplastic that combines good mechanical properties with excellent thermal and chemical resistance properties. There is no known solvent that dissolves TECATRON PPS at temperatures below 392F. Its low ionic impurities make it an excellent choice for applications where high purity is a concern. TECATRON GF40 is a glass reinforced material that offers extremely high strength along with excellent chemical resistance properties. TECATRON PVX is a bearing grade PPS that is suitable for high load applications.

TECAPEI is a Polyetherimide based polymer, sometimes also known as PEI material, and is an amorphous thermoplastic with high mechanical strength and rigidity.
Polyetherimide or PEI polymer is extruded by Ensinger in sheet and rod shapes, using Sabic Ultem resin. Unfilled PEI thermoplastic is translucent and amber in color, and combines exceptional mechanical, thermal and electrical properties.
Often referred to as Ultem plastic, polyetherimides are very similar in their physical characteristics to the polyarylsulphones, while simultaneously offering significant advantages. This material has a remarkably high creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures and furthermore, polyetherimides have a high permanent operating temperature. Very good resistance to hydrolysis, along with dimensional stability rounds out the portfolio of typical polyetherimide properties.

TECAFORM is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic offering high strength, stiffness and toughness. TECAFORM is resistant to hot water, hydrocarbons and solvents, and it possesses good bearing and wear properties. It is available in natural and black grades. TECAFORM is commonly used as bushings, rollers, wear strips and other applications requiring a combination of strength, low moisture absorption, chemical resistance and dimensional stability.

Nylon was the first engineering resin. It has been used in applications ranging from electronic, marine, and automotive industries to fibers used to make carpet. Nylon has outstanding wear resistance and low frictional properties. It has very good temperature, chemical, and impact properties. However, nylon's one weakness is a propensity to absorb moisture and thus have poor dimensional stability.

This is a black colored cast nylon type 6 that exhibits more UV resistance than TECAST T Natural, and is therefore much better suited for outdoor applications than our other standard grade formulations. The material has good wear and abrasion resistance and offers a good mix of mechanical properties.

Ensinger's type 1 grey PVC ROD is designed for machining solutions ans is a cost effective solution for general industrial applications. The material offers an excellent combination of chemical resistance and mechanical strength, along with good thermal and electrical properties that are suited to a variety of industries.
