PAI Glass 30%
Overview
What is the Material: PAI 30% Glass is an imidized amorphous material filled with glass fibers.
Key Material Features: This material is beneficial in applications requiring reinforced structural properties, while maintaining the properties of other PAI materials including high strength, dimensional stability, diverse chemical resistance, and it maintains its properties at elevated temperatures.
Other Considerations: This material is attacked by hot water and steam. Also the glass filler can be abrasive.
