Torlon® 4000TF is a neat resin polyamide-imide (PAI) fine powder designed for compounding with other polymers and specialty additives. It is the base resin utilized in all Torlon injection molded compounds. Its powder form enables designers to enhance custom compounds and specialty applications with the well-known properties of Torlon polyamide-imide, from its unstoppable performance under extreme conditions to excellent resistance against wear, creep and chemicals. Torlon® 4000TF is a fine-particle powder suitable for compression molded parts. It has a maximum particle size of 150 µm with 95% less than 75 µm. The majority of material is the range of 30-40 µm. The IV for this grade is greater than 0.50, the typical range is 0.50-0.65. A coarse-particle powder version, Torlon® 4000T, is also available. A water soluble analogue of Torlon® 4000T is available as Torlon AI-50. The strength and wear properties of compression molded compounds can be uniquely improved through addition of Torlon® 4000TF powder. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and related fluoropolymer compounds show higher strength, greatly reduced creep behavior and better performance in wear-resistant applications, when Torlon® 4000TF is added. Torlon® 4000TF serves as a high temperature, high performance matrix binder for other diverse compression molded parts such as clutches, brake pads and their components, fused metal powders and thermoplastic magnets. The fine powder may also be used in thermal spray processes such as flame spray and high-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) spray techniques. In addition to molded components, Torlon® PAI powders are suitable for use in other high performance forms. For example, these powders are soluble in dipolar aprotic solvents such as N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylacetamide (DMAC), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and dimethylformamide (DMF). Solutions of these systems can be sprayed into coatings, cast into films, spun into fibers and cast or spun into specialty membranes. High strength, high temperature capable adhesives can also be formulated from Torlon® PAI powders. Torlon® PAI powders may be incorporated into epoxy and other thermoset systems to provide additional strength, ductility and heat resistance.

Torlon® polyamide-imide (PAI) is the highest performing, melt-processable thermoplastic. The amorphous polymer has exceptional resistance to wear, creep and chemicals and performs well under severe service conditions up to 260°C (500°F). Torlon® PAI also has superior electrical and structural characteristics at high temperatures, an extremely low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and exceptional dimensional stability. Typical applications include non-lubricating bearings, seals, valves, compressors, and piston parts, bearing cages, bushings, and thrust washers.Parts made from Torlon® PAI polymers perform under conditions generally considered too severe for thermoplastics. Typical applications include aircraft hardware and fasteners, automotive transmission and powertrain components, and oil & gas exploration and recovery equipment. The material’s excellent electrical insulating properties have made it a common choice for semiconductor fabrication and testing as well as electrical and electronic components.Polyamide-imide (PAI) powders are widely used in high-performance, non-stick, and corrosion-resistant coatings for a variety of other demanding industrial uses.

Torlon® PAI is virtually unaffected by aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons, and most acids at moderate temperatures. The polymer, however, may be attacked by saturated steam, strong bases, and some high-temperature acid systems. Proper post-cure of Torlon® PAI parts is necessary to achieve optimal chemical resistance.Like other high-temperature engineering resins and composites, Torlon® PAI parts absorb water, but the rate is slow and parts can be rapidly restored to original dimensions and properties by drying.Of particular interest to aerospace and automotive engineers is the ability of a polymer to maintain its properties after exposure to commonly used fluids. Total immersion tests show Torlon® PAI is not affected by aircraft hydraulic fluid at low temperatures or by common lubricating fluids and turbine oil, even under stress at elevated temperatures.
