Materials for oil & gas applications

A range of industry leading materials specified by OEMs and third party and validated to the toughest of the industry's test and approval regimes.

Our high performance fluoroelastomer (FKM), hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR) and aflas based (FEPM) elastomers are specified worldwide by customers who need top quality materials that are validated and proven to operate:

  • At extremes of temperature
  • Under rapid gas decompression (RGD) conditions
  • In chemically aggressive and abrasive environments
  • To tight performance specifications
  • Where failure could have significant health and safety, environmental or financial implications
