Material in picture: DURATRON PAI

There are many types of plastics. Each plastic is an ideal solution for different challenges. The possibilities and applications are virtually endless. Lakwijk is there to be a guide in the world of plastics. Every now and then we put a specific material in the spotlight. Today it is DURATRON PAI.

DURATRON PAI has excellent mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance over a wide temperature range with extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion. This makes this material ideally suited for high-temperature applications.

Benefits of DURATRON PAI:

  • Very high max. permissible operating temperature in air (250° continuous)
  • Excellent retention of mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance over a wide temperature range
  • Very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion up to 250°
  • Excellent friction and wear behavior
  • Excellent UV resistance
  • Intrinsic flame retardancy
  • 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 types. Due to its inherent temperature resistance, high dimensional stability and good machinability, DURATRON PAI 4203 is a popular material for precision parts in high-tech equipment. In addition, the good electrical insulating capacity makes the material also suitable for electrical components.
