The Petrochemical industry offers challenging applications in extreme regions and plastics play a key role. These harsh conditions demand high performance plastics with a wide temperature range, chemical resistance, toughness, flexibility and long-term reliability.
APPLICATION
- Gaskets and seals
- Valve seats
- Packings
- Bushings, bearings
- Fracballs
- Gaskets and seals
- Lifting systems components (sheaves, rollers, guides)
- Shrouds
- Pipe and pipe support systems
BENEFITS
- Reduced weight and lower cost than traditional materials
- Better sealing performance
- Greater design flexibility
- Handles harsh environments
- Corrosion resistant
- Improved efficiencies (better sealing properties, lower coefficient of friction)
- Easier to machine, ship and install
- Excellent electrical insulation properties
- Static dissipative and conductive grades available
- Less wear on mating parts
Our Role
Diamer supports this sector as a materials supplier:
-
Provision of commodity and specialty chemicals used in Oil & Gas operations alcohols (e.g., methanol for hydrate inhibition, ethanol, isopropanol), glycols (MEG/TEG), amines (MEA/DEA/MDEA), solvents, corrosion/scale inhibitors, demulsifiers, pour-point depressants, and biocides.
-
Additives and catalysts where required (e.g., refining/process catalysts and polymerization/curing catalysts for related manufacturing).
-
Technical guidance on material selection, chemical compatibility, and compliance with relevant standards.
