Engineers need to be able to trust and depend on the products they use for the various applications they design and create. An important material that is commonly relied on and used is thermoplastics. There are all different types of engineering thermoplastic products, such as Torlon polyamideimide (PAI). Torlon material is capable of continually performing under extreme conditions of stress in temperatures as high as 500°F.

Torlon material is called a polyamide-imide because this polymer is made up of a chain of amide linkages alternative with imide linkages. This combination is the reason behind the plastic’s outstanding thermal stability and toughness. Furthermore, the various parts machined by Torlon offer higher impact resistance and better compressive strength compared to the vast majority of advanced engineering plastics.

In addition, Torlon material has a high creep resistance and incredibly low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, which leads to exceptional dimensional stability across its entire range of use. It can be used in all different types of equipment, such as those relating to laboratory and diagnostic, industrial process and production, aerospace, chemical processing, semiconductor manufacture, as well as electronics and telecommunication equipment.

Torlon PAI is impressive, dependable and a quality product that is cost effective and provides engineers and equipment designers performance advantages.
