Shapes Finished Parts High-performance plastics for renewables

Benefits of technical plastics Reliability, low maintenance and performance – the same stringent standards are expected today of systems used for power, heat and fuel production using renewable energy sources. Nowadays, technical plastics have a major contribution to make towards improving existing solutions because modern materials offer a wide range of benefits: Weight reduction Freedom from corrosion Minimized noise emissions Thermal decoupling Emergency running properties The systems used to harvest renewable energy sources are undergoing an ongoing process of development. Enhanced...

Wind power The potential offered by wind power is far from being exhausted. The perspectives for further expansion here are highly positive, primarily through repowering - exchanging obsolete equipment for modern, more efficient systems - and utilizing offshore wind power. Technical developments are highly advanced in this area. However, the drive to improve efficiency and the extreme conditions occurring in offshore wind farms are making ever more stringent demands on the materials used. Depending on the field of application, high-performance materials have to address the following demands: High...

Photovoltaics and solar heat The manufacture of solar plants for the generation of heat or electrical energy is a complex process. The fundamental process involved here is the manufacture of silicon wafers. There are a whole range of applications relating to this process which rely on high-performance plastics. These impose a wide range of demands on the materials used: High thermal and mechanical load capacity Good electrical insulation / defined conductivity Minimal thermal expansion High abrasion resistance Good chemical resistance High plasma resistance Low outgassing in a vacuum Minimal...

Bioenergy Biomass is the most important and most versatile renewable energy source used in Germany. Renewable raw materials are used in solid, fluid and gaseous form for the generation of electrical power and heat, and also for the manufacture of biofuels. Technical plastics enjoy widespread different uses in this field, in particular where higher temperatures occur and where extreme mechanical or tribological loading capacities are called for. Fuel cells Fuel cells are developing into an essential cornerstone of future energy generation, largely due to their flexible scope for application,...

New, improved materials play an important pacemaking role for technological development. Our portfolio includes engineering and high-temperature plastics with property profiles to suit a wide-range of different applications.Due to their low weight, optimized sliding properties, high abrasion resistance, dimensional stability and chemical resistance, they are superior to conventional materials even at high application temperatures. From a range of over 100 different materials, ENSINGER offers semifinished products, precision profiles and finished parts through to complete assemblies. In...

Engineering plastics Thermoplastic engineering plastics can be used permanently at temperatures between 100° C and 150 °C. The materials demonstrate good mechanical properties, high dimensional stability and good chemical resistance. TECAMID 6 (PA6) Good damping properties; Good impact strength and high toughness even at low temperatures; good abrasion resistance, particularly against sliding partners with rough surface. TECAST T (PA6 G) Cast polyamide with properties similar to TECAMID 6, production of high-volume parts with high wall thicknesses possible. Ensinger at a glance Whether in...
