Energy Industry Components

A new 16-page technical brochure from VICTREX highlights how VICTREX ® PEEK™-based materials are increasingly being specified for energy applications. With technology playing a significant role in both traditional and sustainable energy, the selection of the correct material is often seen as a key component for success in an industry that’s moving to more aggressive and demanding operating environments.

The brochure describes how the key properties of VICTREX PEEK polymer and VICTREX PEEK polymer-based materials such as ACTIV™ film and VICOTE® Coatings are improving operating performance and reducing the risk of downtime associated with component failure in industries such as oil and gas, hydropower, geothermal, wind, nuclear and solar energy.

The brochure discusses each of these energy sectors in depth and highlights specific examples of how the materials’ unique combination of properties including chemical, electrical, wear. Hydrolysis and temperature resistance are used to improve performance.

Also included in the brochure is a section that discusses the features and benefits of the different types of VICTREX PEEK polymers. Detailed charts listing the properties of the various polymers are included.
