OVERVIEW of Torlon® 4540 Duratron® |
Torlon® 4540 (aka Duratron® T4540) compression molded PAI is a seal and bearing grade offers a very low coefficient of friction and good wear properties. It was developed specifically for use in rotating equipment. Its composition is the same as the former Torlon 4340 polyamide-imide and used when larger (especially tubular) shapes are required. Torlon 4540 was developed by, and is exclusive to MCAM-Quadrant, sold under the brand name Duratron® T4540.
As increasing world demand for petroleum and chemical products push manufacturing facilities to
maximum capacity, engineers are searching for ways to improve efficiency and increase output.
Pump and compressor manufacturers and equipment re-builders are exploring the use of
advanced polymer materials as replacement for traditional metals and exotic composites to
extend the life and efficiency of seals. However, the materials used must withstand extremely
severe conditions of temperature, pressure and aggressive chemicals.
Seals machined from Torlon® 4540 improve the output and service life in gas re-injection compressors.
The material is more damage resistant during start-up and process upsets than
metals, and affords greater resistance to corrosion and dynamic wear.
