(Reading, PA) — Quadrant EPP has launched www.designwithtorlon.com, a multimedia website to introduce engineers, designers and machinists to many of the advantages that machinable Torlon PAI shapes from Quadrant can offer.
The new site provides traditional information like product specs, basic application information and downloadable documentation with the addition of video elements that increase the site's usefulness for the design community.

According to Quadrant, the video segments — focused on visual instruction of fabrication procedures — share some of Quadrant's six decades of plastic machining experience covering topics like saw cutting, turning, milling and fly-cutting. Site visitors can see first hand how these processes are done in Quadrant's Technical Center.
The processes demonstrated address many frequently asked questions about designing parts with Torlon PAI and other advanced engineering plastics.
There are also talk show segments that address design and performance concepts. They are grouped in the site's Vodcast area and are designed to be entertaining and informative. Dr. Rod Modulus hosts the show, which can be subscribed to as an RSS feed for visitors who want to stay connected to the program.
The site's focus is on the somewhat unknown performance advantage that Torlon PAI can yield when compared to machinable polyimide materials. Applications that require the highest performance in environments under 500˚F (260˚C) can often be best served by considering Torlon PAI shapes from Quadrant.
Stiffness, stability and wear-resistance of Torlon PAI are all featured in the "Why Torlon" area of the site and will likely cause engineers and designers to consider this more cost-effective yet higher performing option instead of traditional polyimides.
