Why Use Torlon?
In addition to being virtually unaffected by corrosive acids, chemicals, and organics, Torlon is also
quieter than metal, half the weight of aluminum, and can be injection molded and machined. These
qualities make it an ideal and less expensive alternative to metal.
Reliable in continuous low temperatures & temperatures as high as 500ºF
It can be used to create more geometrically complex products than metal
