Proven Applications

Chip Nests and Sockets:

By retaining dimensional stability over a broad temperature range, parts made of Torlon 5530 improve reliability of test connections and extend part life. (Prior material: Vespel® PI)

High Temperature Electrical Connectors

Torlon 4203 and 4XG polyamide-imides provide outstanding electrical performance and high temperature stability. (Prior materials: Nylon, PPS, Ultem® PEI)

Labyrinth Seals

Torlon 4540 PAI's rub tolerance gives users and manufacturers of turbocompressors efficiency gains and higher throughput capability by reducing seal clearances. (Prior material: Aluminum)

Bearing Cages

Torlon 4203 and 4301 PAI's low expansion rate and excellent wear resistance enable manufacturers to increase bearing speeds and extend part life. (Prior materials: Steel Cages, Hardened Steel Balls, Bronze Bushings)

Can Mandrel

Torlon 4203 PAI's extraordinary compressive strength and abrasion resistance permit higher production rates, longer part life, and increased support of aluminum cans during printing. (Prior materials: Nylon, UHMW, Ceramic-coated Steel)
