Torlon® polyamide-imide (PAI) is the highest strength and stiffness material of all thermoplastics with heat properties up to 525°F. It has outstanding resistance to wear, creep, and chemicals including strong acids and most organics and is ideally suited for severe service environments. The natural color of the raw material is olive. This material, in its natural state, is heavier than water, meaning Torlon balls sink in water. The ball blanks are injection molded or turned from extruded rod.
