GEHR PEEK® 20 TF (GLIDE)
- Chemical Family
- Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK)
GEHR PEEK® 20 TF (GLIDE) is made in response to enquiries for a material with the properties of natural-colored PEEK but with optimized sliding properties. Although PTFE additives in plastics often lead to a fibrous surface, we were able to achieve an almost shiny surface during processing. This material was developed to optimize the performance of PEEK in friction and wear applications by offering improved lubricity and reduced friction compared to standard PEEK. It offers all the standard advantages associated with standard PEEK resins, such as high mechanical strength and rigidity, excellent thermal oxidative stability, fatigue resistance and excellent resistance to tough chemical environments. Here, it offers clear advantages over the materials PEK, PEKK or PEKEKK.
