Duratron® T PAI Key Properties
Duratron® T PAI stock shapes are molded from Torlon® resin and post-cured using procedures developed jointly by BP Amoco and Quadrant. This eliminates the need for additional curing by the end user in most situations. A post-curing cycle is sometimes recommended for components fabricated from extruded shapes where optimization of chemical resistance and/or wear performance is required.
Popular extrusion and injection molding grades of Duratron PAI are offered as compression molded shapes. Typically, you can identify a compression molded grade as having a second digit of "5" in the product name.
Duratron® T PAI's extremely low coefficient of linear thermal expansion and high creep resistance deliver excellent dimensional stability over its entire service range. Duratron® T PAI is an amorphous material with a Tg (glass transition temperature) of 537°F (280°C).
- Maintains strength and stiffness to 500°F (260°C)
- Minimal expansion rate to 500°F (260°C)
- Excellent wear resistance in bearing grades
- Able to endure harsh thermal, chemical and stress conditions
Duratron® T PAI is available in a wide range of grades with glass filled, carbon filled and bearing grades for enhanced performance in a wide range of structural and bearing and wear applications.
