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 PEEK® MG (MEDI) is produced at a continuous operating temperature of this high-performance plastic ranges between approximately -40° C and +260° C. It features an extraordinary combination of very high rigidity, hardness, tensile strength and bending strength (high toughness and fatigue strength), high heat deflection temperature and excellent resistance to disinfectants and detergents. The hydrolytic stability is exceptionally high, so that repeated sterilization in steam is possible without any problems. PEEK is self-extinguishing according to UL94 specifications. The raw materials used meet the requirements of FDA and EU 10/2011 for food contact materials.

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 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 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 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 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.

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.

FIL-A-GEHR® PEEK MG (MEDI) is a high performance filament based on the material PEEK and is suitable for medical and pharmaceutical applications in direct body contact with tissue, bone, skin and mucous membrane up to 24 hours. They have been tested and evaluated by independent, accredited test laboratories and meet the following biocompatibility requirements: – ISO 10993-1/5/12/18 and USP Class VI.

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 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 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.
