VICTREX® PEEK™ polymer for the Oil and Gas Industry
The task of finding and recovering oil has become increasingly difficult. Oil reserves are often at much higher temperatures and pressures than those which have been encountered before increasing predominance of more chemically aggressive hydrocarbon reserves. Each of these factors places another set of challenges to the engineers responsible for finding and recovering crude oil reserves. In this industry, polymers are a vital link in the production chain, in areas ranging from seismic surveys to transportation and refining.
The VICTREX PEEK Advantage:
- High temperature resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Secure cable management
- High abrasion resistance and cut through resistance
- Low friction properties even in aggressive environments
- Excellent strength, stiffness and long term properties such as creep and fatigue
- Excellent dielectric strength maintained regardless of temperature and environment
- Versatile thermoplastic that can be easily processed using conventional equipment
- Through more than 20 years of application in demanding oil and gas environments
Oil and Gas applications designed with VICTREX PEEK polymer deliver superior long-term reliability in demanding environments than any other competitive material.
Our groundbreaking polymer has a unique combination of properties. It is the ideal replacement for metal and other plastics due to its incredible temperature, chemical and wear resistance, exceptional strength and dimensional stability. All of these properties and so much more in a material that can be easily manufactured into parts on conventional polymer processing equipment.
