| 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. Key Attributes: Chemical Resistant; Creep Resistant; Flame Retardant; High Heat Resistance; High Temperature Strength; Wear Resistant Applications: Bearings; Industrial Applications Injection Notes: Minimum drying times are: 3 hours at 350°F, 4 hours at 300°F, or 16 hours at 250°F. Compression Ratio: 1:1 to 1.5:1 Begin hold pressure at a high setting 6,000-8,000 psi (41.37-55.16 MPa), for several seconds, then drop off to 3,000-5,000 psi (20.69-34.48 MPa), for the duration of the hold pressure sequence. Molded parts must be cured. Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers. |
