Material PAI

About Polyamide-Imide (PAI)

Polyamide-Imide (PAI) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. As one of the strongest and most heat-resistant engineering plastics, PAI is often chosen for demanding applications where durability and performance are critical. This material offers superior resistance to wear, creep, and deformation, even under extreme conditions. Its unique combination of properties makes it indispensable in industries requiring precision, strength, and reliability.
