Torlon® 4275

About
Torlon® 4275 is a wear-resistant grade of polyamide-imide (PAI). This grade offers an excellent balance of mechanical properties and wear resistance. It offers high tensile strength and modulus 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® 4275 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.&&

Notes
1. Typical properties: these are not to be construed as specifications.
2. ASTM Test Method D1708 has been used to measure the tensile properties of PAI and similar materials because the small test specimen conserved material. Today the most widely used specimen is the Type 1 bar of ASTM D638. These D1708 values are included for historical purposes and they should not be compared to the D638 values.
