Project Description

PAI sheet (polyamide-imide/Torlon) is a high-performance material with maximum service temperature of 260°C, thus offering excellent mechanical strength at elevated temperatures. PAI sheet is also known to have very good dimensional stability.

PAI/Torlon sheet

We supply PAI sheet (polyamide-imide sheet) and PAI plate (polyamide-imide plate) in various sizes and thicknesses.

Filled grades

  • Torlon 4203 – Standard grade with excellent electric properties (Yellow-ochre)
  • Torlon 4301 – Rubbing grade with high resistance to friction and wear (Black)
  • Torlon 5530 – Mechanical strength and dimensional stability improved grade by containing glass fibre (Khaki-gray)
  • Torlon 520HR

Also available: Torlon Rod.

Application examples

Torlon sheet and Torlon plate are used for various purposes across multiple industries, including:

  • Aerospace
  • Applications in high energy radiation
  • Applications where wear and friction are required
  • Bearing cages
  • Chip nest and sockets
  • Contactors
  • Devices in high-tech machinery
  • Electrical and electronic devices (high-temperature electrical connectors etc.)
  • Labyrinth seals
  • Metal and related industries
  • Semiconductor nests and sockets
  • Sliding parts

Key benefits
