Solvay Specialty Polymers Torlon® 7130 Polyamide-imide (PAI)  (Unverified Data**)

Torlon 7130 is an 30% carbon-fiber reinforced grade of polyamide-imide (PAI) resin. It offers high strength and modulus, exceptional creep resistance, and good fatigue resistance. It has thermal expansion characteristics similar to steel, 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 potential applications for this resin include metal replacement, sliding vanes, aerospace parts, impellors, shrouds, pistons, and housings. It is available in injection molding and extrusion (E) grades.Injection Notes: Minimum drying conditions: 3 hours at 350°F (177°C), 4 hours at 300°F (149°C), or 16 hours at 250°F (121°C). 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 post cured.Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
