Torlon 7130 is a high-performance formulation within the polyamide-imide (PAI) family of polymers. Its physical properties and bearing and wear resistance serve extremely demanding applications. These applications include components for equipment and systems used in the following high-technology industries: Aerospace Automotive and transportation Oil and gas Chemical
Read more →High PV bearing applications are tough for even high-performance polymers like Torlon, PEEK and PPS. The reason is simple; frictional heat generated especially by the velocity component of “P x V” does not dissipate as easily as does in inherently more conductive bearing materials (i.e. metals). TheRead more →
Producing parts from extruded stock shapes is preferred when injection molding is not practical, and many times for part performance reasons. Experienced plastics engineers have learned that the performance of a machined part can far exceeds that of an injection molded part, yet a comparison of resinRead more →
