In order to provide polymer compounds which are improved with respect to their properties in comparison with conventional PTFE, on the one hand, and compounds thereof with additional high performance polymers, on the other hand, it is suggested that a polymer compound comprise a proportion of a fully fluorinated, thermoplastic polymer material as well as a proportion of at least one additional high performance polymer different thereto and selected from the group consisting of polyether ketone, polyether ether ketone and polyether aryl ketone as well as copolymers and derivatives of these polymers and copolymers, wherein the compound displays a homogeneous distribution of the proportions of the polymers and the polymer material.
