Torlon® Polyamide-imide (PAI)
Key Features
✔ High-Temperature Performance
Maintains superior properties at temperatures up to 275°C (525°F) – ranking among the highest heat-resistant thermoplastics.
✔ Mechanical Properties
• Strength & Stiffness: Highest strength and stiffness retention at 275°C among all thermoplastics
• Wear Resistance: Suitable for high load/high-speed friction scenarios (bearings, seals)
• Creep Resistance: Maintains dimensional stability with minimal deformation at elevated temperatures
✔ Electrical Properties
• Superior insulation properties and arc resistance for electronic components (connectors, switches)
✔ Additional Characteristics
• Lubricity: Special formulations reduce coefficient of friction for lubrication-free bearings
• Chemical Stability: Resists numerous chemical solvents in corrosive environments
Primary Applications
Aerospace components, semiconductor equipment, oil drilling tools, and other extreme operating conditions.
