Glass-Filled Torlon PAI Bars

Filled with glass, these Torlon 5030 bars are stronger and more rigid than Torlon 4301 and 4203, yet still electrically insulate like Torlon 4203. The glass also prevents wear from abrasions and expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. These bars are often used to make electrical components that endure extreme temperatures. However, they’re not recommended for bearings or bushings because the glass eats away at other materials.

Ultra Electrical Insulating Torlon PAI Rods

Use these Torlon 4203 rods instead of standard Torlon PAI to create parts that not only withstand extreme temperatures, but also are electrical insulators. They have the same slippery and wear-resistant surface as standard Torlon PAI, though they’re stronger.

Extreme-Strength Wear-Resistant Torlon PAI Sheets

Among the strongest plastic materials we offer, these sheets have a slippery surface that resists wear. They’re made from Torlon 4301 resin, so they’ll remain dimensionally stable across a wide temperature range. Use them to make high-friction compressor parts and seals.

Glass-Filled Torlon PAI Rods

Stronger and more rigid than Torlon 4301 and 4203 because they’re filled with glass, these Torlon 5030 rods are also electrical insulators like Torlon 4203. In addition, the glass prevents friction from wearing them down and temperature changes from expanding and contracting them. These rods are often made into electrical components that need to withstand extreme temperatures. But, they aren’t good as bearings or bushings because the glass eats away at other materials.
