Torlon - A Great Building Material

Torlon as a poly amide is a great material that has vast applications. The following are some of the characteristics of the polymer Torlon.

o Rigidity to concentrated acids as well as a lots of organic compound
o Remains stable even up to a temperature of 300 degrees C
o Elevated conductibility capability
o Extreme mechanical retention and displays extreme rigidity towards high temperatures.

The following are various grades of polymer Torlon:-

1) Torlon 4216G

Torlon 4216G polymer is a highly resistant polymer that has wide use due to the presence of 4% "titanium oxide" and 0.5% of "floropolymer". It in addition also offers outstanding impact force as well as electric insulation. It is the only grade of Torlon polymer that is reliable and strong and remains stable even at very high temperatures ranging up to 550 degrees F. Torlon 4216G has an exceptional properties for carrying charge. Therefore it is widely used in making switches, relays as well as connectors.

2) TORLON 6050 & 7483 (most widely used grades)

Torlon 6050 as well as 7483 grades characterize and display outstanding rigidity in various grades of high temperature resistant bearing grade and are capable of enduring extreme chemical, stress as well as thermal situation. These can be classified in context of stiffness, strength, thermal resistance as well as dimensional stability. At one fourth of the mass of metal as well as lower linear expansion than copper, Torlon 6050 as well as 7483 are perfect contenders for the substitute of metals.

3) TORLON 7116 (mixture of glass and metal, reinforced Torlon grade)
Torlon 7116 along with electrically conductive, is also dimensionally stable and has great strength. It has outstanding di-electric power ranging around 650 V/m. High current bearing devices are created with the help of this variety like the fasteners, CVT clutch rollers, welding tip insulators, cases as well as igniter cups gears, hydraulic poppets, splines as well as a lot of dynamic as well as structural apparatus.

4) TORLON 7130 (mixture of glass and metal, reinforced Torlon grade)
