*Drake Plastics cures all Torlon products prior to shipment. It may be attacked by saturated steam, strong bases and some high-temperature acids.

Torlon polyamide-imide is virtually unaffected by aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons and most acids at moderate temperatures. The material PEEK is a unique, versatile, semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic with excellent chemical resistance. The wear grades offer unmatched performance over a wide range of temperature and PV conditions. PEEK plastic material - Polyetheretherketone. PEEK carries a V-0 flammability rating and exhibits very low smoke and toxic gas emission when exposed to flame. For hostile environments, PEEK is a high strength alternative to fluoropolymers.

Glass-reinforced and carbon fiber reinforced grades offer even greater stiffness plus enhanced thermal expansion properties. PEEK is one of the best heat-resistant materials among high performance plastics. PEEK can be used continuously to 480☏ (250☌) and in hot water or steam without permanent loss in physical properties. Its exceptional mechanical and thermal properties are the result of an extended curing process* which lengthens the PAI polymer chain and builds its molecular weight.

* Continuous Use Temperature (CUT) performance : See Thermal Stability in Solvay Design Guide to determine suitability for your application. Torlon PAI is also tougher and more impact resistant at cryogenic temperatures than other high strength polymers. This semi-crystalline advanced engineering material exhibits a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance making it the most popular advanced plastics material. Is has been used in many applications with continuous exposure to 500☏ (260☌) for extended periods* and is stronger at 400☏ (204☌) than other engineering resins at room temperature. The Ketron PEEK family of materials is based on polyetheretherketone resin.

Torlon can be extruded into shapes and injection molded into custom geometries.ĭepending on the grade, Torlon PAI offers a heat deflection temperature of up to 539☏ (282☌), and affords unparalleled strength at high temperatures. Torlon® polyamide-imide is recognized as the highest performance thermoplastic that is still melt processible.
