Case Studies
Industrial Process and Production Equipment
- Bearings, bushings and rollers with creep resistance over 400° F (205° C)
- Extreme wear resistance and high PV capabilities can eliminate costly lubrications systems
- Ideal for industrial applications where elevated temperatures and aggressive chemicals are present
Aerospace
- Seals, connectors and wear parts maintain critical dimensions across a broad temperature range
- Torlon PAI easily withstands most fuels and lubricants
- Lighter weight and lower cost than exotic metal alloys
- Tight dimensional control of precision parts across a broad temperature range
Chemical Processing Equipment
- Significant performance and efficiency gains are possible with seals machined from Torlon PAI
- Wear resistance improvement over specialty alloys greatly improves Mean Time Between Rebuild/Repair
- High Temperature, lubrication-free performance increases the life of seats, seals and rings
Laboratory and Diagnostic Equipment
- Small seals, seats, rings can take full advantage of Torlon PAI's stiffness and strength
- Precision parts can easily be machined to extremely light tolerances
- Torlon PAI's excellent chemical resistance is ideal for use in lab and diagnostic devices
Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment
- High strength and stiffness are maintained to nearly 500° F (260° C)
- Various grades can be used to achieve electrically insulative, dissipative or conductive performance
- Specialty grades offer next-generation performance for specific process areas like Etch, Package & Test and CMP
Electronics and Telecommunications Equipment
