General Info

GEHR PPO™ Black Plastic Rods are high-performance, amorphous engineering thermoplastics designed for structural applications requiring excellent dimensional stability, high impact strength, and electrical insulation properties. This material belongs to the polymer group of standard plastics and complies with ASTM D4349, the Standard Classification System for Polyphenylene Oxide (PPO) Molding and Extrusion Materials, ensuring consistent quality and performance.

Manufactured by GEHR and offered by Boedeker, GEHR PPO™ is known for its outstanding electrical properties that remain stable regardless of surrounding frequencies, making it the material of choice for electrical and electronic components. The black color provides enhanced UV protection and aesthetic uniformity.

With continuous operating temperature, GEHR PPO™ maintains its mechanical integrity and dimensional accuracy in thermally demanding environments. It also offers low moisture absorption and good chemical resistance to water, acids, and bases, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and structural applications.

Available in black, GEHR PPO™ ensures material purity and consistency during machining. Its combination of strength, electrical stability, and excellent machinability makes it a preferred choice for insulators, housings, circuit board components, and other precision structural parts requiring long-term reliability.
