Description
Material Notes:
Torlon® 4601 is a specialty wear-resistant grade of polyamide-imide (PAI). Most Torlon® PAI grades cannot be molded successfully in molds with undercuts. Torlon® 4601 has been formulated to be moldable in tools with minor undercuts and give very good performance in lubricated wear applications. Features: Flame Retardant; Good Chemical Resistance; Good Creep Resistance; Good Wear Resistance; High Heat Resistance; High Temperature StrengthUses: Bearings; Industrial ApplicationsInformation provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
