*Drake Plastics cures all Torlon products prior to shipment. It may be attacked by saturated steam, strong bases and some high-temperature acids. Torlon polyamide-imide is virtually unaffected by aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons and most acids at moderate temperatures. The wear grades offer unmatched performance over a wide range of temperature and PV conditions.

Glass-reinforced and carbon fiber reinforced grades offer even greater stiffness plus enhanced thermal expansion properties. Its exceptional mechanical and thermal properties are the result of an extended curing process* which lengthens the PAI polymer chain and builds its molecular weight.
* Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) performance : See Thermal Stability in Solvay Design Guide to determine suitability for your application.
Torlon PAI is also tougher and more impact resistant at cryogenic temperatures than other high strength polymers. Is has been used in many applications with continuous exposure to 500☏ (260☌) for extended periods* and is stronger at 400☏ (204☌) than other engineering resins at room temperature. PEEK can be used continuously to 480F (250C) and in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. PEEK grades offer chemical and water resistance similar to PPS (PolyPhenylene Sulfide), but can operate at higher temperatures.
It also exhibits higher tensile strength and flexural modulus and retains its strength at 30☌ (54☏) higher temperatures. Torlon can be extruded into shapes and injection molded into custom geometries.ĭepending on the grade, Torlon PAI offers a heat deflection temperature of up to 539☏ (282☌), and affords unparalleled strength at high temperatures. PEEK is an abbreviation for PolyEtherEther-Ketone, a high performance engineering thermoplastic. Chemically a polyetherketone (PEK) polymer, Victrex HT has a higher glass-transition temperature (Tg) and greater creep resistance than traditional PEEK. Torlon® polyamide-imide is recognized as the highest performance thermoplastic that is still melt processible.
