Torlon

The highest strength-to-stiffness thermoplastic available for continuous use up to 260°C.

Example: machined Torlon

What is it?

The highest strength-to-stiffness thermoplastic available for continuous use up to 260°C. Reserved for parts under real mechanical stress at high temperature.

Key behavior

Exceptional strength and stiffness at sustained high temperature, with very low creep under load.

Why choose it

Only for genuinely demanding applications — aerospace fasteners, non-lubricated bearings, high-temp seals — where the cost is justified.

Applications

Aerospace structural fasteners, non-lubricated bearings, high-temperature seals.

Machining notes

Holds very tight tolerances well but often needs a post-machining thermal cure step to reach full strength — confirm this step with the partner.
