Drake PAI 5060 is a highly loaded composite with 60 percent fiber reinforcement. It has twice the reinforcement of Torlon 5030 and more by both weight and volume than Torlon 7130. Drake PAI 5060’s balance of extremely high modulus (stiffness), minimal CLTE (dimensional change with temperature) and machinability make it an excellent upgrade to difficult to fabricate high-performance polymers or ceramics. Tensile tests confirm the modulus is more than 50 percent higher than glass reinforced PEEK, while the thermal expansion is reduced to the range of steel. Drake PAI 5060 is well suited for cryogenic vessels and housings, high pressure valve seats and balls, and test sockets for ICs Information provided by Drake Plastics. |
