GEHR POM banner

Applications:Parts & Components, Medical, Laboratory & Diagnostics
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films, Parts & Shapes
Polymer Name:Polyacetal Copolymer (POM)
End Uses:Medical Devices, Medical Device Housings, Conveyors

Due to its good thermal and mechanical properties, this semi-crystalline material belongs to the polymer group of engineering plastics. It has a high surface hardness and good sliding and wear behavior. Since POM belongs to the group of short-chip materials, machining is significantly simplified when compared to similar plastic materials.

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 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.

Applications:Building Materials, Parts & Components, Powertrain & UTH
Product Families:Parts, Shapes & Films
Chemical Family:Polyamides
Polymer Name:Polyamide 6 (PA 6), Polyamide 66 (PA 66), Polyamide 610 (PA 610)
End Uses:Bearings, Fittings, Gears

Due to its good thermal and mechanical properties, this semi-crystalline material belongs to the polymer group of engineering plastics. In addition to its high strength, hardness and toughness, it has a high heat deflection temperature of -40 °C to approx. +100 °C. However, the good damping capacity can only be achieved after conditioning, so this material should be re-conditioned after tempering. The material also has good sliding and dry-running properties. Due to the increased moisture absorption behavior in comparison to other polymer materials, possible dimensional changes as well as changes in the mechanical and electrical properties must be taken into account prior to material configuration.

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.
