TECATOR™ is a high performance melt processable polyamideimide that maintains its excellent mechanical and wear properties in temperature environments exceeding 500°F. Stock shapes from Ensinger are available in three grades: TECATOR™ TI 5013, high strength structural grade featuring good electrical properties and strength, making it ideal for demanding applications at a broad range of temperatures. TECATOR™ TI 5031 offers high PV capabilities in bearing applications, primarily at high loads and low speeds. TECATOR™ GF30 (XP1424T) is a 30% glass filled grade, compression molded with superior stiffness and dimensional stability. It is available in a wide variety of custom tube, ring, rod and plate sizes.- Excellent weather and gamma radiation resistance
- Outstanding bearing wear properties (at elevated temperatures, TECATOR™ TI 5031 offers superior wear rates)
- High strength and stiffness
- Excellent electrical values
- Good chemical resistance (TECATOR™ is not attacked by common solvents or fuels and is acceptable for use in contact with many acids)
- Maintains a high proportion of mechanical properties over a broad temperature spectrum - cryogenic to 500°F
- TECATOR™ TI 5013 and TI 5031 are available in a wide variety of metric sizes in rod and plate
TECATOR™ (PAI) typical applications: Pump parts, valve seats, piston rings, seal rings, engine transmission parts and bearing cages. For the semiconductor industry it is used for "burn in" test sockets, nests, chassis and other applications such as welding nozzle tips. Information Provided by Ensinger Industries, Inc. |
