High-Strength Wear-Resistant Torlon PAI Rods

- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -320° to 500° F
- Tensile Strength: 15,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: 0.8 ft.-lbs./in (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell M106 (Extra Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: UL 94 V-0
These rods are among the strongest plastics we offer. Dimensionally stable across a wide temperature range, they have a slippery surface that resists wear. Use them to make high-friction compressor parts, bearings, and seals.

Electrical-Insulating High-Strength Wear-Resistant Torlon PAI Rods

- Color: Yellow
- Temperature Range: -320° to 500° F
- Tensile Strength: 20,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: 2 ft.-lbs./in. (Good)
- Hardness: Rockwell M120 (Extra Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: UL 94 V-0
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.

Rigid Glass-Filled Electrical-Insulating
High-Strength Wear-Resistant Torlon PAI Rods

- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -320° to 500° F
- Tensile Strength: 23,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: 1 ft.-lbs./in. (Poor)
- Hardness: Rockwell E90 (Hard)
- For Use Outdoors: No
- Specifications Met: UL 94 V-0
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.
