Ensinger plastics comply with EN ISO 23936-1 and NORSOK M-710 Standards for Oil and Gas

摘要

Ensinger announced that semi-finished products made with VICTREX~R PEEK polyetheretherketone resin have achieved compliance for use in oil and gas applications according to EN ISO 23936-1:2009 as well as NORSOK M-710, Edition 3. PEEK has excellent sliding and mechanical properties, even under thermal load. Outstanding chemical resistance and a high operating temperature round off its profile and make TECAPEEK~R an appropriate material for highly stressed parts in extreme environments. TECAPEEK is used in oil and gas environments for applications such as bearings, seals, back-up rings or subsea connectors. Fiber-reinforced grades are suitable for use in parts that are exposed to high static loads over long periods in high-temperature conditions.
