PMP - Polymethylpenten 

TECAFINE PMP Ensinger Plastics

PMP material (chemically known as Polymethylpentene) is manufactured by Ensinger in stock shapes for machining and is extruded in sheet and rod and may also be referred to as TPX®. PMP Plastic parts are known for their higher temperature resistance when compared to standard polyolefins, as well as possessing good chemical resistance and electrical insulating properties. In addition, PMP materials feature low dielectric, superb clarity, transparency, gas permeability, heat and chemical resistance and release qualities. Polymethylpentene is easily machined and polished, and has a specific gravity among the lowest of any available engineering material making it an excellent choice for lightweight structural parts.

PMP material properties and specifications

PMP plastics offer:

  • Low density
  • Excellent electrical properties
  • Low water absorption
  • High creep resistance
  • High toughness
  • Translucence

Manufactured PMP Materials

Polymethylpenten plastics modifications are manufactured by Ensinger under the tradename TECAFINE PMP.

Ensinger is a supplier of PMP shapes such as:

  • Polymethylpenten sheets
  • Polymethylpenten rods

TECAFINE PMP natural

 This unmodified polymethylpentene (PMP) belongs to the polyolefine family, and offers translucense, and good UV resistance. Ensinger's TECAFINE PMP combines very good electrical insulation ...
