Solvay Solexis fluoropolymers are ideal for use in the oil and gas industry due to their good mechanical properties and excellent chemical resistance to a wide variety of organic and inorganic chemicals, even at elevated temperatures.
Oil field applications include shock tubing, encapsulated injection tubing, coated rod, and coated control cables. The tough, resistant Halar ECTFE fluoropolymer coating extends the life of many down-hole components in harsh well environments. Down-hole cables are also constructed of Solef® PVDF, Halar® ECTFE and Hyflon® MFA.
Algoflon® PTFE has outstanding chemical inertness in aggressive environments, thermal resistance, electrical properties, and non-stick characteristics in a wide range of temperatures from cryogenic to 260º C. This makes Algoflon PTFE the ideal material for many critical applications. In particular, Algoflon DF powders are currently used for the production of pipe and tubing, obtained by paste extrusion, with the excellent performance required by this market.
