Semi-crystalline high-performance plastics such as PEEK and PPS as well as imidized amorphous polymers like Torlon polyamide-imide afford inherently good resistance to wear against mating surfaces under dynamic load. In addition, additives have been developed that enhance the load bearing and wear resistance of these and severalRead more →
Tribological properties indicate how plastics perform when in contact with mating materials under dynamic conditions. They refer to the frictional and abrasive wear characteristics of a material. However, the properties are not always provided on resin suppliers’ data sheets, and must be obtained by testing under conditionsRead more →
Polyamide-imides (PAI) are high performance polymers that combine excellent high temperature strength with low temperature toughness and impact strength while offering exceptional chemical resistance as an amorphous polymer to a wide range of common chemicals. They are closely related to two other high temperature aromatic imide polymers,
