Crystalline polymer. Material with high mechanical and thermal properties (up to 260°C.). It resists to creep under load and to wear, its friction coefficient is low. 

FEATURES 

High temperature. It resists beyond 250°C. Dimensional stability.
High E-modulus
Good abrasion resistance and low friction coefficient.
Flame resistance (V.0) 


WEAK POINT
 
Very high cost. 
The machining is difficult


APPLICATION

Mechanical: the dimensional stability at temperature is high, as well as the heat resistance. Components obtained by PAI have a very high wear resistance and are self-lubricating. It is used to produce high performance pieces at low as well as at high temperatures: bearings, cams, precision gears, etc.

Food contact: it is not used in contact with food
 
Electrical: very good dielectric and insulating properties.

Chemical: very good chemical resistance
