(OP)
I have a part that sees a lot of impact and torsion during operation. I need to make this part out of some plastic or composite with dielectric strength in the range of 380-450v/mil and below are the anticipated mechanical specs:
Tensile strength: 25000-35000 psi
impact strength 20-30 ft-lb/in
compressive strength 19000-25000 psi
flexural strength 40000-55000 psi

This material will be compression molded and the part is fairly intricate.

Can anyone please help.  

Thanks

RE: plastic or composite material search

One possible candidate is Ryton from Conoco Phillips. The only property lacking is the impact values. I would give them a call for any insight on improved impact values.
