Compliance Info

Slide 1 of 1, currently active

General Info

GEHR PEEK-30GF is a PEEK variant modified with 30 % glass fibers. The glass fiber additive significantly increases the surface hardness and heat deflection temperature compared to the already high values of the unreinforced standard type. Dimensional stability is improved when compared to virgin PEEK with the lower coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the PEEK 30GF material.

Key Properties

Very high mechanical strength
Very high rigidity (also at low temperature) Very high thermal stability
Very high creep resistance
Very high dimensional stability
Very high radiation resistance
Very high hydrolysis resistance

Limitations

Relatively low-notch impact strength
Low resistance to acetone

Applications

High Strength Structural Components
Spacers
Flanges
Fixtures in glass production

Manufacturer Trade Names

GEHR PEEK-30GF™

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.

Available Sizes

Available in Sheet and Rod only. This is a stock item at GEHR'S Mannheim/Germany Plant, longer lead times may apply. Contact us for size and availability.
