GEHR PEEK banner

Applications:Semiconductor Manufacturing, Equipment & Parts, Other Industrial Applications
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films, Parts & Shapes
Chemical Family:Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK)
Polymer Name:Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
End Uses:Valve Seats, Piston Rings, Semiconductor Applications

Due to its excellent thermal and mechanical properties, this semi-crystalline material belongs to the polymer group of high-performance plastics (HPM).

GEHR PBT banner

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Other Industrial Applications, Pumps, Turbines & Compressors
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films
Polymer Name:Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
End Uses:Water Jacket Spacer, Valves, Tanks

Polybutylene terephthalate is a semi-crystalline material from the polyester family of plastics and, due to its good thermal and mechanical properties, is counted among the polymer group of engineering plastics. It has a high surface hardness and good sliding and wear behavior.

GEHR PEI banner

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Other Industrial Applications, Other Parts & Components
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films
Polymer Name:Polyether Imide (PEI)
End Uses:Water Jacket Spacer, Valves, Gears

Polyetherimide has a high mechanical strength in connection with a good chemical and heat resistance (operating temperature up to +170 °C), good dimensional stability and creep resistance. lts unique torque strength permits the economical substitution of machined fabricated small parts from steel.

GEHR PVDF banner

Applications:Medical Devices & Assemblies, Equipment & Parts, Other Industrial Applications
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films
Chemical Family:Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives
Polymer Name:Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)
End Uses:Medical Devices, Gaskets, Valves

Polyvinylidene fluoride shows a higher tensile strength, pressure resistance and dimensional stability than the related PTFE, but friction and insulation properties are lower. PVDF has a high mechanical strength and toughness at lower temperature and it’s self-extinguishing. The operating temperature ranges from -30 °C to +150 °C. PVDF shows a high resistance to chlorine, bromine and high-energy radiation.

GEHR E-CTFE banner

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Other Industrial Applications, Pumps, Turbines & Compressors
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films
Chemical Family:Fluoropolymers
Polymer Name:Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene Copolymer
End Uses:Valves, Tanks, Pumps

E-CTFE is a linear block copolymer and belongs to the group of amorphous high-performance plastics. It is highly UV and weather resistant and also withstands high-energy (radioactive) radiation. Ethylen-Chlortrifluorethylene exhibits an extraordinary impact strength at temperatures ranging from -76 °C to +150 °C. A great part of the product properties attributes to the very smooth surface and differentiates HALAR® from other fluoropolymers. Due to the fact that E-CTFE is very pure, this material is being used to process chemicals and ultrapure water for the semiconductor industry. Also the permeation resistance to oxygen, carbon dioxide, chlorine gas and hydrochlorid acid is 10 to 100 times better than PTFE.

GEHR PSU banner

Applications:Medical Devices & Assemblies, Equipment & Parts, Other Industrial Applications
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films
Chemical Family:Polysulfones
Polymer Name:Polysulfone (PSU)
End Uses:Medical Devices, Food Packaging, Valves

This amber-colored, transparent material belongs to the group of amorphous high-performance plastics. Polysulfone has a good heat deflection temperature and heat aging resistance (-100 °C to +160 °C). In addition, this material has a high hardness and strength, very good hydrolytic stability and high radiation resistance (permeable to microwaves up to 2.45 GHz). PSU also has high dimensional stability and resistance to β- and γ-, X-rays and infrared rays. However, PSU is not UV stable and notch sensitive.
