4 IntroductionThis Brochure contains information on the GUR /GHR Product portfolio, properties and processing and machining of these materials, separate publications are GUR is the trademark for a group of ultrahigh-mole-cular-weight polyethylene products (PE-UHMW)produced by extremely high molecular weight of GUR productsimparts properties to this plastic that limit the pro-cessing of the virgin material powder to ram extrusionand compression molding the molecular weight of polyethylene increases, higher values are obtained for a number of technically important properties.

5 Notched impact strength wear resistance energy absorption capacity at high stress rates heat deflection temperature stress crack combination of properties opens up a wide rangeof applications for GUR, primarily in the GHR is the trademark for a high -molecular-weightpolyethylene (PE-HMW), also supplied in powderform. This material is suitable mainly for compressionmolding but also for extrusion of sheets, profiles andblocks, and for porous the addition of heat stabilizers, both GHR andGUR can be used in the manufacture of system ISO 9001 The GUR Product group unit has introduced a quality management system based on ISO 9001.

6 It covers all functions, including development, purchasing, production, analysis, sales and customer service. The global GUR Product group unit obtained ISO 9001certification from the DQS, Deutsche Gesellschaftzur Zertifizierung von Managementsystemen mbH,(German Association for the Certification of QualitySystems) in March 1998. = registered trademarkBoth GUR and GHRare protected Ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (PE-UHMW) Nomenclature, grade portfolio, supply formThe Ticona ultra high -molecular-weight and high -molecular-weight polyethylenes are coded by a four-digit number, a color number and in some casesby a (GHR)Trademark4 (8)Bulk density (supply form)11 (1)Stabilization22 (1)Elongational stress (MFR)30 (0)
