GHARDA IN ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONICS : STRONGER, SMARTER & SAFER
The brand new moulding compounds GAZOLETM– PBI and G-PAEKTM – PEK based on the thermoplastic materials expand our range to include materials with unique property combinations that can be customized to the growing needs of the electrical & electronics industry. Because these compounds excel at resisting chemicals, extreme temperatures, and wear and at keeping their dimensional stability, they can make a crucial contribution to the performance of electrical & electronic devices.
Nuclear, aerospace and alternative energy are using our specialty resins that safeguard the electronic equipments via connectors and many consumer electronics semiconductor parts such as for LED’s and LCD’s. Our materials and technical expertise are helping to make electrical & electronics (E&E) a better and smarter experience.
In many electronics applications, the key attributes provided by plastic parts are based on its: mechanical integrity and electrical insulation. Added to this are additional requirements such as low weight, reduced size, halogen-free flame protection, lead-free welding, and metal replacement, to name just a few.

Semiconductor
Ultra high performance plastics from Gharda can be used in the semiconductor industry where dimensional stability, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and high temperature processing are required. High strength and stiffness plus long-life performance makes them an effective alternative to metal components in wafer handling, processing vessels, parts carriers, and IC test equipment sockets and handlers.
The semiconductor industry’s demand for smaller, tight tolerance IC packages that operate at higher frequencies is making it increasingly difficult for traditional materials previously used for test socket applications. New, high performance test socket components made from G-PAEKTM – PEK polymer are available which provides a competitive advantage in key microprocessor test socket applications due to its significantly lower moisture absorption and tight tolerance machining.
G-PAEKTM polymer is increasingly used for the transport and storage of semiconductors during production. Historically, the material of choice has been carbon fibre reinforced polypropylene. However, with increasing specification of semiconductor wafers, it has become clear that polypropylene carriers have met their limitation. Production is adversely affected by wear particles, out gassing, doping of semiconductors by the ionic extractable and poor mechanical properties of the carrier material.
Key Features
- Good chemical resistance
- Defined electrical conductivity
- Good thermal-mechanical resistance
- Low ionic contamination
Typical Applications
- Chip carriers
- Test and burn-in socket components
- Bearings
- Bushings
- Mechanical fasteners
- Wafer contact components including carriers
- chamber insulators and seals
- Wet etch wafer chucks
- wands and reticle holders
- Focus rings
- Fixtures and rollers

Wire and Cable
The wire and cable coating industry is dependent on the process ability of polymeric materials and does not generally use high performance thermoplastics. However, due to the ease of processing and the high quality of product, Polyether Ketone (PEK) polymer is increasingly used in demanding wire and cable applications.
The medium-viscosity grade G-PAEKTM 1200G is recommended in melt extrusion-based wire and cable insulation layers, as well as PEK Monofilaments, multi-filament fibres, ultra-thin tubing, and films.
