The addition of PTFE and graphite provides higher wear resistance and lower coefficient of friction compared to the unfilled grade as well as a lower tendency to stick-slip. Duratron T4301 PAI also offers excellent dimensional stability over a wide temperature range. This extruded Duratron PAI grade excels in severe wear applications such as non-lubricated bearings, seals, bearing cages and reciprocating compressor parts. Compression moulded Duratron T4501 PAI is similar in composition to Duratron T4301 PAI, and is selected when larger shapes are required.
