Solvay Specialty Polymers Torlon® 4301 Polyamide-imide (PAI) (Unverified Data**)

Torlon 4301 is a wear-resistant grade of polyamide-imide (PAI) resin. It has a good balance of mechanical properties and wear resistance. It offers high flexural and compressive strength with a low coefficient of friction and outstanding wear resistance at both high velocity and high pressure conditions. Torlon PAI has the highest strength and stiffness of any thermoplastic up to 275°C (525°F). It has outstanding resistance to wear, creep, and chemicals. Potential applications for Torlon 4301 polyamide-imide include thrust washers, spline liners, valve seats, bushings, bearings, wear rings, cams and other applications requiring strength at high temperature and resistance to wear. Injection Molding Grades: – High Flow: Torlon 4301 HF – Low Flow: Torlon 4301 LF – Low Flow Small Pellets: Torlon 4301 LFSP Extrusion Grades: – High Flow: Torlon 4301-EXT – Higher Flow: Torlon 4301-HQInjection Notes: Minimum drying conditions: 3 hours at 350°F (177°C), 4 hours at 300°F (149°C), or 16 hours at 250°F (121°C). Compression Ratio: 1:1 to 1.5:1 Begin hold pressure at a high setting 6,000-8,000 psi (41.37-55.16 MPa), for several seconds, then drop off to 3,000-5,000 psi (20.69-34.48 MPa), for the duration of the hold pressure sequence. Molded parts must be post cured.Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
