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 wide 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 the highest number of choices to 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, none of them is more challenging than 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.
