Ensinger/Penn Fibre Increases Inventory Availability 

Bensalem, PA- Ensinger/Penn Fibre has announced the addition of three high performance materials to their available stock inventory. These products were previously available only as custom order products. The addition of Natural PVDF, Ultem 1000 natural, and Pennite 4508 Nylon sheets as stock materials signifies the increased market demand for these products.

Natural PVDF is now available from stock in standard 24in. x 48in. sheets in thicknesses of .031”, .062”, .093”, .125”, .187”, and .250”. Custom production orders of PVDF are still available in both sheet and roll form from .010in. - .250in. thick, with custom and standard widths to 50in. and lengths to suit. As with all of Penn Fibre’s high performance materials, Natural PVDF is offered with optional fabric backings for adhesion applications. In addition to sheet stock, Penn Fibre will also offer Natural PVDF welding rod, manufactured by their sister company, Ensinger/World Plastic Extruders, for fabrication applications.

Ultem 1000 natural is now available in 24in. x 48in. sheets in thicknesses of .040”, .062”, .093” and .125”. Ultem has long been a favored high performance material when high operating temperatures, chemical resistance, autoclavability, and impact resistance are required. Ultem is also available in thin section rolls, strips and punched products by custom order. Interim sizes and gauges are quoted upon request. Custom colors are also available by request.

Pennite 4508 is the first commercially available thermoformable nylon. Pennite 4508 is 15% glass reinforced, heat ageing stabilized, impact modified, type 6 nylon with exceptional heat characteristics for a polyamide. Since the introduction of Pennite 4508 in February of 2003, the demand for the material has grown steadily as thermoformers continually develop new nylon applications. Under the hood applications have included air dams and radiator shrouds. Stock availability will include 24in. x 48in. and 48in. x 96in. sheets in standard thicknesses from .031in to .250in. Custom production orders of Pennite 4508 are available in both sheet and roll formats from .010in to .250in thick, with custom and standard widths to 50in., with lengths to suit.
