Sealing systems - avoid costly downtime
Effective sealing is often the difference between a safe, long-lasting, efficient operation and costly downtime. VICTREX™ PEEK has been a material of choice in this industry for 40+ years as a primary seal, back-up ring where reliability is critical. Proven 450G™ PEEK-based sealing solutions can extend the lifetime of installations and improving recovery in corrosive, HPHT environments .
Electrical connectors - greater reliability and performance
VICTREX HT™ and VICTREX ST™ polymer materials are increasingly being selected by connector OEMs to improve application performance, achieve more design freedom, and reduce downtime and system costs.
- Higher insulation resistance than glass
- Insulation integrity to negate electrical leakage
- Great impact resistance for longer service life
Compressor components - lighter, quieter, longer life
Driven by stringent industry requirements for longer-life parts and reduce downtimes, VICTREX PEEK solutions delivers a unique combination of properties for compressor components.
- Decrease maintenance cost & lower material weight
- Integrity in harsh chemicals & fluids
- Durability in mechanical & wear environments
Electrical insulation - greater integrity and durability
As operating conditions become more extreme, with unparalleled electrical, mechanical chemical and humidity resistance properties, energy engineers are choosing APTIV thermoplastic film as a reliable technical solution for electrical insulation.
- Improve safety and reliability with an electrical relative thermal index of 240°C （464°F）
- Reduce integrity losses with excellent humidity and chemical resistance
- Design thinner insulation that can handle a high power density
Wear ring components - less energy consumption with more uptime
Traditionally, wear ring components have been made from metallic materials such as bronze, stainless steel and cast iron, but VICTREX PEEK polymer-based composite materials can be use as a metal replacement resulting in enhance process reliability, greater energy efficiency and a consequent cost saving.
- Better wear resistance
- Low coefficient of friction
- Non-galling or seizing
