Torlon® PAI (Polyamide-imide)

Torlon® is a high performance material with superior strength and rigidity at elevated temperatures. It exhibits excellent creep resistance and low thermal expansion at temperatures to 530^o F. Torlon® is an outstanding wear material with a low coefficient of friction and very high Limiting PV. Depending on the formulation, Torlon® is also a tremendous electrical and thermal insulator.

Torlon® shapes can be produced by utilizing Extrusion, Injection Molding, or Compression Molding methods. Torlon® can also be filled with a variety of materials to enhance its performance.
