Other PAI producers

The majority of isocyanate-produced polyamide-imide solutions are consumed within the wire enamel marketplace, where Altana AG and Hitachi are known. Other producers with polyamide-imide solution products include Bayer Material Science with Resistherm , while Huntsman has Rhodeftal . 

Due to the specialty nature and niche applications for polyamide-imide parts, many of these low-volume pieces are machined from preformed stock shapes. Toray, based in Japan, is producer of polyamide-imide resin that it converts to polyamide-imide parts and stock shapes, largely for the Asian markets. In the United States, Quadrant EPP supplies extruded Torlon polyamide-imide rod and plate stock as well as compression-molded ingots and shapes. Drake Plastics extrudes custom profiles in addition to standard shapes from Torlon resins. Injection-molded Torlon polyamide-imide stock shapes are available through Parkway Products.
