More On Why Torlon®?
Torlon® polyamide-imide is recognized as the highest performance
thermoplastic that is still melt processible. Torlon® can be extruded
into shapes and injection molded into custom geometries.
With a 500°F heat distortion temperature (softening temperature)
and a 500°F continuous service temperature, Torlon® offers unmatched strength
at elevated
temperatures. It is stronger at 400°F than other engineering resins at room
temperature.
It’s exceptional properties are the result of being transformed from a
thermoplastic
to a cross-linked thermoset during an extended curing process*.
Glass-reinforced and
carbon fiber reinforced grades offer even greater stiffness plus enhanced thermal
expansion properties.
The wear grades offer unmatched performance over a wide range of temperature
and PV conditions. Torlon® polyamide-imide is virtually unaffected by aliphaticand
aromatichydrocarbons, chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons and most acids
at moderate temperatures. It may be attacked by saturated steam, strongbases
and some high-temperature acids
*Drake Plastics cures all Torlon® products
prior to shipment.
