Torlon® 4601

About
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. 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® 4601 polyamide-imide include ball bearing cages and other molded articles that require undercut tooling.&&
