Torlon® 4435

About
Torlon® 4435 is a polyamide-imide resin specifically designed to provide exceptionally low wear performance in non-lubricated applications even at high pressure and velocity (PV) conditions. Not only is Torlon® 4435 particularly suited to applications where lubrication is impossible or undesirable, it provides an additional margin of safety for lubricated systems in the event that lubrication is lost. The impressive flexural and compressive stiffness from cryogenic to elevated temperatures allows it to be used for demanding load-bearing applications. The low coefficient of thermal expansion provides the ability to meet close tolerances over a wide temperature range. Due to its electrically dissipative property, this grade may also be considered for anti-static functions. Specific applications where Torlon® 4435 may be used are thrust washers, seal rings, sliding vanes, bobbins, bushings, clutch rollers and pistons. The resin can be injection molded into complex shapes. High flow: Torlon® 4435-HF&&

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.
3. Dry: 4 m/s, 0.2 MPa (800 fpm, 31.25 psi)
4. Dry: 0.25 m/s, 3.4 MPa (50 fpm, 500 psi)
