Oil & Gas
The Oil & Gas industry offers challenging applications in extreme regions and plastics play a key role. These harsh conditions demand high performance plastics with a wide temperature range, chemical resistance, toughness, flexibility and long-term reliability.
Applications
- Gaskets and seals
- Valve seats
- Packings
- Bushings, bearings
- Fracballs
- Gaskets and seals
- Lifting systems components (sheaves, rollers, guides)
- Shrouds
- Pipe and pipe support systems
Benefits
- Reduced weight and lower cost than traditional materials
- Better sealing performance
- Greater design flexibility
- Handles harsh environments
- Corrosion resistant
- Improved efficiencies (better sealing properties, lower coefficient of friction)
- Easier to machine, ship and install
- Excellent electrical insulation properties
- Static dissipative and conductive grades available
- Less wear on mating parts
