Torlon® plastic PAI custom parts and fasteners are made from a thermoplastic that has superior strength and wear resistance even in extreme conditions. Torlon® is made by Solvay SA. The resin is then made into shapes by Ensinger Plastics. It is an amorphous polymer meaning it has a random molecular structure. Amorphous polymers do not have a melting point. Rather they have a glass transition temperature. When heated they soften
Wallace Carothers and Paul Schlack Nylon 6/6 was first made on February 28, 1935 by the American chemist Wallace Carothers, working at DuPont. In Germany, by 1938, Paul Schlack of I.G. Farben Company had polymerized caprolactam, a different kind of polymer now known as nylon 6. Both are also called polyamides. How Nylon is Made This material is made via a condensation polymerization reaction and is formed by reacting di-functional monomers
Heat Tolerance Vespel® is a polyimide made by DuPont®. It is a high performance plastic used to make custom parts as well as standard screws, hex nuts, bolts, bearing, washers, etc. It is used in extreme and hostile environmental conditions. Vespel® will perform well in a very wide range of temperatures from cryogenic to 550° F (288° C). Also it can tolerate occasional extreme heat up to 900° F or 482° C
