TECATOR: Materials for the upper performance range Ba
Ensinger has added to its product spectrum in the range of polyamide-imide semi-finished goods (PAI). In addition to the tried and tested high-temperature plastic TECATOR 5013, an improved material for tribological applications is now also available: The modified type TECATOR 5031 PVX contains graphite and PTFE. The additives give the material excellent abrasion resistance as well as good sliding and friction properties. TECATOR can be used in the cryogenic area and at high temperatures. The continuous working temperature is 250 °C, but this thermoplastic can even be used short-term at 270 °C. The thermal resistance under load is thus even higher than that of PEEK, as is the toughness. The very stiff material TECATOR shows excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability. High long-term stability, creep resistance and fatigue strength are further advantages of this material. Thanks to its good chemical resistance, TECATOR is resistant to conventional solvents, lubricants and fuels and can be used in contact with many different acids. In addition, polyamide-imide possesses high resistance against high-energy radiation. The plastic is self-extinguishing according to UL 94 V-0. Ensinger supplies the yellow-brown natural type TECATOR 5013 and the black slide-modified type TECATOR 5031 PVX in the form of plates and cylindrical rods. Both material types are easy to machine, and, for this reason, they are used preferably in the manufacture of precision parts, e.g., in automobile construction, aerospace and in electronics/semi-conductor technology. The following branches of industry are further areas of application: mechanical engineering, cryogenics, precision engineering, medical technology and vacuum technology. Switches and plug components, insulating parts, plain bearing bushes and discs, piston rings, valve seats, ball bearings and valve balls or slide rails and rollers can all be fabricated from TECATOR. The following dimensions will be available from Januar 2012: TECATOR 5013 Plates: 1 to 40 mm, cylindrical rods 5-100 mm diameter TECATOR 5031 PVX Plates: 1 to 40 mm, cylindrical rods: 5-60 mm diameter More information: Ensinger GmbH, Rudolf-Diesel-Str. 8, 71154 Nufringen m.edelbauer@de.ensinger-online.com / m.porn@de.ensinger-online.com www.ensinger-online.com The Ensinger group is engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of compounds, semi-finished materials, profiles and technical parts made of engineering and high performance plastics through extrusion, machining and injection moulding.
