PP-HT
GEHR PP-HT®
In the context of new technical developments we have extruded a white coloured PP-HT material, which is particularly suitable for applications in the chemical industry and for thermally demanding applications.
GEHR PP-HT® is a new material that has a heat deflection temperature (HDT/B=133 °C) which is approximately 40 °C higher than that of standard PP without losing its high chemical resistance. The melting point of PP HT is approximately 165 °C. It was possible to significantly enhance the mechanical properties of this homopolymeric material, which expands the field of application for the use of a polyolefin.
PROPERTIES GEHR PP-HT®
Product range
- High chemical resistance, as typical of PP
- Enhanced elastic modulus (approx. 2300 MPa) and yield strength (approx. 40 MPa)
- Heat deflection temperature is approximately 40 °C higher than that of standard PP
- Raw material complies with FDA and 10/2011/EC requirements for food contact applications
Custom extrusion on request
Round rods and sheets in other sizes can be produced on customer´s request
please contact us.
Applications
- Wherever mechanical properties are required that are superior to those of standard PP, or
- Where enhanced thermal properties are indispensable and – until now – alternative solutions had to be found.
