Product Description: Torlon 4XCF (aka 7130) – 30% Carbon Fiber-Filled PAI
Overview:
Torlon 4XCF, also known as Torlon 7130, is a high-performance material characterized by its 30% carbon fiber reinforcement. This exceptional engineering plastic offers remarkable stiffness, nonabrasive wear resistance, and the industry’s lowest coefficient of thermal expansion, setting it apart as a leading MCAM-Quadrant material. Torlon stands out as the pinnacle of melt-processable plastics, boasting superior resistance to elevated temperatures and the ability to excel under extreme stress conditions at continuous temperatures of up to 500°F (260°C). Components fabricated from Torlon stock shapes exhibit higher compressive strength and superior impact resistance when compared to most advanced engineering plastics. Notably, Torlon PAI’s remarkably low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, coupled with high creep resistance, ensures outstanding dimensional stability throughout its entire operational range. Torlon is classified as an amorphous material, with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 537°F (280°C). It’s important to note that Torlon stock shapes are meticulously post-cured through procedures collaboratively developed by BP Amoco and MCAM-Quadrant, effectively eliminating the need for additional curing in most usage scenarios.
