Torlon® Characteristics

Torlon® is a high performance thermoplastic that has exceptional impact, dielectric and compressive strength. It carries high loads over a wide temperature range and withstands impact loading and abrasive wear, making it a good choice for structural components and wear applications. It is a polyamide-imide thermoplastic.

Torlon® polyamide-imide offers outstanding insulation properties and high dielectric strength. Characteristics include:

  • Outstanding insulation properties
  • here to help 200High dielectric strength
  • Exceptional compressive and impact strength
  • Superior strength over a wide temperature range

Applications for Torlon®

  • Electrical connectors and insulators
  • Linkages
  • Seal rings
  • Bearing parts
  • Sliding compressor vanes
  • Nests and sockets
