Material datasheets

We are writing to inform you about our new stock shapes material data sheets. Previously, all material data was determined using idealized injection moulded test specimens.
According to the new European semi-finished products standard DIN EN 15860, this data now has to be tested on machined test specimens.
In compliance with the new standard DIN EN 15860, Ensinger has adjusted its data sheets and listed the material characteristic data obtained using test specimens machined from stock shapes. With immediate effect, you will only find specifications complying with the standard in Ensinger stock shapes data sheets.

Due to the different methods used to produce the test specimens, differences may appear in the material properties.
You will find different values appearing between the old (injection moulding value) and new (semi-finished values) data sheets.

We wish to emphasise that no changes have been made to the materials or the production processes. The properties of previous material deliveries are therefore precisely comparable to the current deliveries. The material property differences occurring in some cases are due only to the different method used to produce the test specimens.

They do not assure or guarantee chemical resistance, quality of products and their merchantability in a legally binding way. Our products are not defined for use in medical or dental implants. Existing commercial patents have to be observed.

These values are within the normal tolerance range of product properties and do not represent guaranteed property values. Therefore they shall not be used for specification purposes.
