Properties of high-performance plastics

| High thermal and mechanical stability| Inherent flame resistance| Low degree of thermal expansion| High chemical resistance even at raised temperatures| Low level of outgassing in vacuum| Good electrical insulation

The dream of flying would quickly becomea thing of the past without today’s plastics. This is easily substantiated by a casual glance at the inside of a modern aeroplane. The use of plastics makes planes lighter, safer and more economical. This is by no means the case for just the interior, however, but also for sophisticated technical parts, structural elements and propulsion components, for example.

More recently, the significance of technical plastics and composites in aviation and aerospace applications has grown rapidly.

Advantages of plastics

| Every extra pound a plane weights costs energy to move it and thus money. The use of modern polymer materials and reinforcing fibres makes it possible to achieve lightweight constructions and hence fuel savings| Plastic components can normally be fabricated eco-

nomically| Plastics are approx. 50% lighter than aluminium| Compared to metals, plastics do not corrode| Plastics provide a high degree of freedom in design| Plastics with modified sliding properties are best suited for use in dry operation under extreme conditions| Transparent plastics serve as lighter and more impact resistant alternatives to glass

Plastics in aviation and aerospace applications.

Approvals

Before plastics are approved for applications in aviation and aerospace, they normally have to undergo testing which is specific for the components. ENSINGER processes special high-performance plastics to satisfy special needs, which meet the high standards and fulfil the requirements of QSFB, AS 9100, OSU, ABD 0031 or FAR 5.853. TECAPEEK® products are qualified according to IPS 04-06-004-01 specifically for interior Airbus applications.

Areas of application for plastics in aviation and aerospace

Interior components, technical parts, structural elements as well as components for navigation, propulsion engineering and satellite technology.

Process engineering to match the highest demands.

ExtrusionENSINGER extrudes semi-finished goods from more than 100 different thermoplastics as rods, sheets and tubes in the dimensions the customer requires and as stock items. Many years of experience and the most modern equip-ment ensure the highest quality of all products, as well as individually adaptable material properties.

MachiningSmall parts and large volume components can be eco-nomically produced on the most modern CNC-controlled processing centres and cycle-controlled automatic turning lathes. Lot sizes are irrelevant. Complex geometries are possible with simultaneous four and five-axis processing.

Perfect products are the result of highly precise production processes and the most modern process technology.The comprehensive know-how of ENSINGER’s industrial specialists in conjunction with engineering expertise makes technically demanding and customised solutions possible.All processes are subject to continuous quality assurance. Thanks to the global sales network, our products reach you anywhere and on time every time.

Injection mouldingWe produce high-precision and demanding geometries for large volume production using injection moulding, which are used, for example, in holding fixtures or materials handling equipment.

Industrial profilesENSINGER demonstrates its high level of expertisein the production of special profiles and special tubes. Solid profiles, hollow chamber profiles and particularly thin-walled profiles are manufactured for this purpose from specially adapted materials.

Highest radiation resistance

Outstanding resistance to chemicals

High-performance plastics have to show special properties in their resistance to chemicals, in order to be used in the aviation and aerospace industry. This depends on the state of the part, the geometry and the internal stress of the materials. Our plastics satisfy these requirements. It is recommended that a test for suitability is carried out for definite applications, taking into account the resistance at different temperatures, concentrations, residence times and mechanical loads.

Safety through special fire protection properties

For certain plastic applications, high requirements are placed on flame retardant properties. ENSINGER plastics satisfy the current flammability ratings for aviation and aerospace purposes.
