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 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.

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 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.

FIL-A-GEHR® PEEK is a Polyetheretherketone ranks among the high Performance thermoplastics thanks to its high melting point of 343 °C and its maximum continuous operating temperature of 260 °C. Its particular chemical structure makes PEEK largely stable against thermal and chemical damage and permits its usage inside the body. In case of fire, the smoke development of PEEK is the lowest of all thermoplastics; the material is therefore used in aviation. FIL-A-GEHR PEEK® is an experimental filament with a processing temperature of 375 °C in the heated chamber (180 °C). The material is specifically apt for use on 3D printers.
