Material: PAI - Torlon® 4203

Offers the best toughness and impact strength of all the Torlon® PAI grades. Beacause of its intrinsic high temperature resistance, high dimensional stability and good machinability it is very popular for precision parts in high-tech equipment. In addition, it's good electrical insulating ability provides numerous possibilities in the field of electrical components. Also available in Black 5530 grade (30% glass fibre reinforced) which gives higher stiffness, strength and creep resistance than the 4203 grade.
