Extreme-Strength Wear-Resistant Torlon PAI Rods

These rods are among the strongest types of plastic 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.

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.

Ultra-Electrically-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.
