APPLICATION AREAS

Extend the scope of oil & gas exploration

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 .

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

PEEK-BASED

Wear Component

The use of Victrex’s APTIV™ film for the slot liner material has enabled Equipmake to improve thermal management and produce an indirect water-cooled stator in our APM 200 with the same high performance as the previous direct oil-cooled design. Equipmake will be bringing this motor to production in 2020.
