The name Ensinger is synonymous with a broad based range of production techniques capable of processing thermoplastic stock shapes in a wide variety of material choices under a single roof. It is often the material or the end product, that determines the processing method used: Whether it be for large scale volumes or small production runs; large and bulky or small and delicate parts - our engineering plastic stock shapes can be purchased in standard unmodified grades, in addition to a variety of modified grades to fit your application.
We offer high quality semi finished products made of over 100 different plastics. Besides all standard thermoplastics, Ensinger develops and extrudes a multitude of special materials according to customers' demands. Rods, sheets and tubes are offered in a range of small dimensional increments and with special properties to meet your requirements. Our products are manufactured by several different process techniques, which include plastic extrusion, plastic compression molding, and plastic calendering, for a wide variety of high performance, engineering and industrial base polymers, in addition to having the ability to cast plastic sheets, plastic tubes and plastic rods from nylon. These machinable types of plastic are used as starting products for manufacturing precision finished parts. Furthermore, our customers can rest easy, safe in the knowledge that our products are fully compliant with stringent quality standards.
Not every application demands high volume production runs of standard materials. Smaller quantities of high performance compounds may be required. In these cases, the economics and flexibility of compression molding may apply. Ensinger Special Polymers offers custom compounding and compression molded shapes of specialty high performance engineering plastics. Standard and near net shapes are available in a number of custom formulations based on materials such as TECATRON PPS, TECAPEEK polyetheretherketone, and various grades of high temperature polyimide and polyamide-imide. Common shapes include rings, rods, plates tubes and discs.
Our product portfolio contains materials with a variety of different declarations, which include the following areas:

As requested by our customers, we have checked and qualified a large share of our materials against required specifications. We can qualify additional materials on request. Due to the special requirements of the aerospace industry, Ensinger takes on responsibility for: raw materials receipt inspections, raw materials specifications, composition specifications for individual articles, final inspections, issuing of inspection certificates, and much more.
Attaining food grade plastic compliant with the stringent demands of FDA and European Food Contact regulations is nowadays a key requirement for thermoplastics machining operators in this field. Ensinger offers this solution: alongside our engineering thermoplastic standard portfolio we also offer a special portfolio of food contact materials, fulfilling the specific demands of food technology in terms of safety and performance.
Ensinger produces a wide range of plastics, which are predominantly used for mechanical applications and components of industrial machines. The field of mechanical engineering is traditionally focused on steel and metal alloys in order to achieve high mechanical strength and precision of the parts. Nowadays, replacing metal with engineering plastics is common due to their wide range of benefits. High performance plastics can offer a solution where other traditional materials fail, opening up the doors to improvement and progress.
The wide range of Ensinger medical grade (MT) materials offers designers a choice of options to develop innovative medical products, which provide a high degree of safety and added value. The different manufacturing methods used by Ensinger, such as extrusion, machining, injection moulding, profile extrusion and compounding, offer the customer numerous ways develop and produce its product together with Ensinger along the value added chain.
Technical plastics have a major contribution to make towards improving existing solutions within the oil and gas industry due to modern materials offering a greater range of benefits. The industry demands of high temperature, mechanical strength and chemical resistance call for the need of materials suitable for the most extreme environments. With extensive experience in the oil and gas field, Ensinger work closely with customers to achieve the optimum solution to fit their application needs. Technical material experts can provide customers with a qualified material recommendation which can be confirmed by practical testing.
Of all the industries in which engineering plastics can help engineers solve design problems, the most challenging is the semiconductor industry. Our semiconductor industry plastics are designed with the industry's often rigid and demanding environmental concerns in mind. In addition to that, our specialists have worked directly with engineers in the industry to understand the unique challenges that are associated with all aspects of the manufacturing process.
