Plastics processor Ensinger (Nufringen / Germany; www.ensinger-online.com) has added “Tecasint 2000” to its range of amorphous, non-melting high-temperature polyimides. The products include several new developments and modifications, in addition to established materials under the “Sintamid” brand name. The company says that semi-finished products and direct formed parts made of Tecasint 2000 have enhanced long-term thermal stability, operating in a temperature range from -270 °C to 300 °C, and have the ability to withstand short-term heating to 350 °C without melting or softening. Material strength, dimensional stability and creep resistance under mechanical load also remain high in continuous use, Ensinger says.
