Toughness

Wear Resistance

Sliding surfaces and sheaves in drilling operations, bearings and bushings in rotating equipment, and dynamic components require extreme wear properties. Engineered plastics consistently outperform traditional metals over a broad range of loads, speeds, and environments.

Chemical and Abrasion Resistance

Engineered plastics provide resistance to a wide variety of chemicals, and can also perform well in conditions that involve dirt, sand, and salt air.

Toughness

Materials with high strength and toughness are critical to the rugged nature of this industry. Engineered plastics provide load carrying capability combined with the ductility to provide resistance to impact and rough use.

Oil & Gas

Engineered plastics provide resistance to a wide variety of chemicals and can also perform well in conditions that involve dirt, sand, and salt air.

Replacing metal parts with performance plastics can reduce both weight and wear on mating parts. Polymers provide better sealing performance, corrosion resistance, and great design flexibility. In short, they are ready to handle harsh environments.

Applications: Valve seats, bushings, bearings, gaskets, labyrinth seals, packings, and more.

Bearing Grade PPS Labyrinth Seal Used on Gas and Liquid Compressors to provide high efficiency, rub tolerant seals
