TECATRON SX natural
TECATRON SX natural is an unfilled PPS plastic (polyphenylene sulfide), processed to plates, rods, and tubes in compliance with semiconductor copy exactly requirements (also known as copy exact or CE). Additionally, more stringent quality controls and measures ensure maximized optical cleanness and dimensional stability, which for Ensinger PPS material is significantly above the usual market standard.
