GEHR PEEK® MOD (GLIDE) is reinforced with 10 % of each PTFE, graphite and carbonfibre. The very good friction, wear and tear properties makes this material the good choice for many applications with friction.

GEHR PA® 6 C is a high-molecular and stress-reduced PA 6, which shows a very tough behavior and which was produced by casting. Our round rods and sheets in natural color comply with the food contact regulations according to 10/2011/EC.

GEHR PPSU® is an amorphous material, with improved impact and hydrolysis resistance compared to PSU. This amber-colored, transparent material is usually used in a black color, which is why we only offer it in this color version so far. The usual operating temperature is approx. +170 °C. The extremely high notch impact strength remains also after a heat aging.

GEHR PET® 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 PEEK® can be used at very high temperatures (about +260 °C) and it shows an extraordinary mechanical strength, toughness, hardness, flexural strength, torsional strength. PEEK exhibits excellent chemical resistance, very good dielectric properties up to +260 °C and a very good resistance to all kinds of radiation (even ultraviolet rays only lead to a slight yellow discolouration). PEEK is self-extinguishing properties according to UL 94.

GEHR POM® ELS is a variant of POM-C with enhanced electrical conductivity. The conductivity is generated by a specially adjusted additive. Migration to the part surface, and thus strong fluctuation of the good conductivity, should therefore not occur. The surface resistance, measured on the semi-finished product, is ≤104 Ω.

GEHR PA® 6.6 is slightly increased surface hardness and rigidity of PA 6.6 is due to the reduced moisture absorption behavior compared to PA 6 XT. Abrasion resistance and heat deflection temperature could also be optimized at the expense of toughness.

GEHR PPS® 40 GF is a variant of PPS modified with 40 % glass fibers. Due to the high glass fiber content, strength ranges comparable to light metals can be achieved. This material owes its significantly increased dimensional stability to its very low coefficient of linear expansion.

GEHR POM® 10 PE (GLIDE) are used for tribological applications in which increased sliding wear is to be expected, POM-10PE is frequently used, whose sliding properties have been significantly enhanced. This type of POM-C with modified sliding properties also has a raw material food contact approval.

GEHR PEEK® 30GF is a variant of PEEK modified with 30 % glass fibers. This modification significantly increases the surface hardness and heat deflection temperature compared to the already high values of the unreinforced standard type. The coefficient of linear expansion can also be reduced by approx. 25 %.

GEHR PPS® is continuous operating temperature of this high-performance plastic is approximately +230 °C. It has very high mechanical performance combined with excellent thermal and chemical resistance as well as high dimensional stability and creep resistance. The LOI of this material is among the highest among polymers. The excellent hardness and stiffness are further characteristics of PPS. It closes the gap between semi-crystalline, engineering plastics and PEEK through its strength and economic efficiency.

GEHR PVDF® 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 PSU® is 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.

GEHR POM® 10 PE-TF (GLIDE) is new material in which the tribological behavior (friction) has been optimized by incorporating solid lubricants. Thanks to these solid lubricants, we achieve a high wear resistance, a low coefficient of friction and thus a good dry running capability. In addition to the standard features, these plastic materials also have excellent emergency running properties, good damping properties as well as optimized chemical resistance and oxidative stability. Their abrasion behavior is also positively influenced by the firmly integrated PTFE additive, which is not harmful to health

GEHR 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 PEI® 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 PMMA XT® (ACRYL) is amorphous material belongs to the polymer group of standard plastics, due to its thermal and mechanical properties. In addition to its high mechanical strength and rigidity, it certainly has an extraordinarily brilliant transparency. Its weather and UV resistance as well as its surface hardness are also very high. PMMA is also scratch-resistant and polishable. The continuous operating temperature ranges between -40 °C and +70 °C. The chemical resistance to most solvents, the resistance to stress cracking as well as the toughness is clearly subordinate compared to other materials from the group of standard polymers.

GEHR PA® 6 XT is a PA 6 which shows a very tough behavior and which was produced by extrusion. Our round rods and sheets in natural color comply with the food contact regulations according to 10/2011/EC.

GEHR PBT® 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 POM® C is produced from the continuous operating temperature of this engineering plastic ranges between -40 °C and +100 °C. Based on its toughness combined with high dimensional stability, there is no tendency to stress cracking. The copolymer has high thermal stability and chemical resistance. In particular, the increased hydrolytic stability and resistance to contact with many solvents must be taken into account. This material is frequently found in applications in the food industry, as cleaning processes require resistance to the use of hot water or various chemical agents. Our round rods and sheets in natural or black color comply with the food contact regulations according to 10/2011/EC.
