Does not publish d33 — leads on operating temperature range.

PMN-PT and PIN-PMN-PT single crystals with the highest coupling and strain TRS publishes, for transducers where bandwidth and sensitivity decide the design.
First-generation PMN-PT, and the highest thickness coupling TRS publishes — for transducers where bandwidth decides the design.
PIN-PMN-PT, trading some coupling for roughly twice the coercive field and a Curie point up to 200 °C.
Samarium-doped PIN-PMN-PT, reaching the highest d33 in the catalogue at up to 2600 pC/N.
Manganese-doped PIN-PMN-PT under development, with a mechanical Q of 500 — the only single crystal TRS publishes for high-drive use.

Soft lead zirconate titanate for receive-sensitive and broadband applications, formulated and pressed in-house.
The highest sensitivity TRS publishes: d33 of 780 pm/V and a dielectric constant of 6800, at a Curie point of 150 °C.
Type VI soft PZT with the highest shear response in the catalogue — d15 of 983 pm/V and k15 of 0.76.
General-purpose Navy Type II soft PZT: balanced coupling and sensitivity at a 340 °C Curie point.
The most thermally stable soft grade, with the highest coercive field and Curie point of the Type II set.
Type II soft PZT tuned for higher sensitivity than TRS 200 while holding a 370 °C Curie point.

Hard PZT for high-drive transmit applications, where mechanical Q and low loss matter more than raw sensitivity.
Navy Type I hard PZT: the reference high-power grade, with a mechanical Q of 500 and 0.3% loss.
Low-permittivity Type I hard PZT, for high-impedance drive where a dielectric constant of 500 is the point.
Navy Type III hard PZT with the lowest published loss in the catalogue at 0.2%.
The highest mechanical Q TRS publishes — 2500 — for continuous high-drive transmit.

Piezoceramics that hold their properties where conventional PZT depoles: Curie points to 430 °C, operation to 350 °C.
High-temperature grade holding d33 of 400 pC/N to a 340 °C Curie point.
High-temperature grade with a 380 °C Curie point, for service above the reach of conventional PZT.
The highest Curie point TRS publishes at 430 °C, and characterised at 450 °C as well as at room temperature.

PMN electrostrictors developed for sonar, with 6 to 10 times the strain energy density of PZT-8.
