High Strength Plastics

Torlon® polyamide-imide

Torlon® polyamide-imide (PAI) is a high strength plastic with the highest strength and stiffness of any thermoplastic up to 275°C (525°F). It has outstanding resistance to wear, creep, and chemicals— including strong acids and most organics—and is ideally suited for severe service environments.

Key Features
  • Exceptional long-term strength and stiffness up to 275°C
  • Outstanding wear resistance
  • Superior toughness from cryogenic up to 275°C
  • Resistant to strong acids and most organics
  • Inherent flame resistance
  • Low CLTE

Typical Applications of Torlon High Strength Plastic

  • Aircraft
    • Hardware and Fasteners
    • Mechanical Components
  • Auto/truck transmission components
  • Coatings, composites, additives
  • Electric motor components
  • Semicon fabrication, testing
  • Oil and gas processing equipment
  • Bearing retainers
  • Gears
  • Bushings
  • Seals
  • Thrust washers
