Torlon® 5030 is a 30% glass-fiber reinforced grade of polyamide-imide (PAI) resin. It offers high strength and modulus and exceptional creep resistance. It has thermal expansion characteristics similar to aluminum and therefore excellent dimensional stability.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.The mechanical properties of Torlon® 5030 resin make it a candidate for metal replacement in high temperature, high stress applications. In addition, it offers outstanding electrical properties, which makes it ideal for high performance parts such as connectors, switches and relays.- High Flow: Torlon® 5030-HF.
