Torlon - Model PAI -Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA)

Performance Plastics is an early adopter of the high performance plastic PAI Torlon®.  PAI is a high strength, high temperature (500°F max) polymer that is injection molded and oven “cured” to produce a thermoset polymer with excellent bearing properties. PAI has the highest tensile strength of all non-filled, injection moldable materials. It should be noted that water absorption can be a concern and a 17 day post cure process is required. Use of this material requires special certification.

• Low friction/wear
• High compressive strength
• Outstanding performance at elevated temperatures.
