Torlon® 4645

About
Torlon® 4645, an injection-moldable, wear-resistant grade of polyamide-imide (PAI), has been formulated to give outstanding wear resistance 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® 4645 polyamide-imide include thrust washers, seal rings, sliding vanes, bobbins, bushings, clutch rollers and pistons.&&
