Material Description
Chemically a polyamide-imide (PAI), Torlon is a reaction product of trimellitic anhydride and aromatic diamines. Torlon demonstrates exceptional thermal stability due to the combination of aromatic groups and amide linkages alternating with imide linkage. This property also contributes to Torlon’s flexibility and toughness generating exceptional toughness.
