Oil & Gas Approved Materials

The variety of polymers available can lead to several options when making a preliminary choice of material for your Rubber Moulding.

We are very aware that careful selection of the elastomer is essential to ensure that all design criteria are met.

Extracting Oil and Gas requires the use of polymeric compounds as Packers, O-Rings and seals that have to be able to withstand a wide range of corrosive chemicals, high and low temperatures and high strength with excellent abrasion resistance.

HNBR – Hydrogenated Nitrile is a polymer with excellent physical and chemical resistance characteristics.

However, with increasing Down Hole temperatures, Fluoroelastomers are needed and newer grades have been developed to handle these extreme conditions.
