General Info

GEHR PP-C™ Natural Plastic Rod is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic made from Polypropylene Copolymer (PP-C), designed for structural and chemical-handling applications requiring high chemical resistance, light weight, cleanliness, and excellent impact performance. This material is frequently used in corrosive environments where strength and machinability are critical.

Manufactured by GEHR and offered by Boedeker, GEHR PP-C™ Natural Rod provides high resistance to acids, alkalis, and aqueous solutions, along with very low moisture absorption and very low density, making it ideal for lightweight yet durable machined parts. Its continuous operating temperature ensures consistent performance across a broad temperature range.

GEHR PP-C™ offers better impact resistance at low temperatures than homopolymer polypropylene, while retaining ease of welding using common thermoplastic welding methods (excluding high-frequency welding, due to low dielectric loss). Its natural (unpigmented) color supports use in applications requiring purity and cleanliness, such as food contact or lab equipment.

This rod stock is suitable for machining into components like valve parts, pump housings, chemical tanks, and fluid-handling fixtures where chemical resistance and durability are required.
