Certification
Ensinger's High Performance category consists of materials designed to withstand the most severe environments. Lighter than most metals, these materials offer weight savings that have the potential to drive lower cost systems. These products also typically have significant resistance to harsh chemicals, and of course the ability to survive and perform in extreme temperatures.
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) - TECAPEEK®
One of Ensinger's most versatile materials, TECAPEEK, is available in a variety of grades to suit your particular situation. All of Ensinger's TECAPEEK product line utilizes Victrex® PEEK™ polymer.
TECAPEEK
It is an excellent material for a wide spectrum of applications where thermal, chemical, and combustion properties are critical to performance.

Sulfones - TECASON®
The TECASON product line consists of amorphous materials that bring with them some unique performance characteristics. Among these is their ability to withstand the rigors of steam sterilization, otherwise known as "autoclaving". Because of their resistance to this form of cleaning, they are often used extensively in medical applications.
TECASON S Polysulfone
TECASON S is a translucent engineering plastic known for its chemical resistance, rigidity, high-temperature performance, and its ability to operate in an autoclave environment.
