Material showcased: DURATRON PAI

There are many different types of plastics, and each type provides the ideal solution for different challenges. The possibilities and applications are virtually endless. Lakwijk is here to guide you in the world of plastics. From time to time, we highlight a specific material. Today, that material is DURATRON PAI.

DURATRON PAI offers excellent mechanical strength, stiffness, and creep resistance across a wide temperature range, combined with an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion. This makes the material particularly suitable for high-temperature applications.

Advantages of DURATRON PAI:

• Very high maximum allowable operating temperature in air (250°C continuous)

• Excellent retention of mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance over a wide temperature range

• Very low linear thermal expansion coefficient up to 250°C

• Outstanding friction and wear behaviour

• Excellent UV resistance

• Intrinsically flame-retardant

• Exceptional resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma and X-rays)

DURATRON PAI 4203 (ochre yellow) has the highest toughness and impact resistance of all DURATRON PAI grades. Due to its inherent temperature resistance, high dimensional stability and good machinability, DURATRON PAI 4203 is a widely used material for precision components in high-tech equipment. In addition, its good electrical insulating properties make it suitable for electrical components.
