Overview
Meeting and exceeding the sealing demands of industries such as oil and gas requires high-temperature and high-pressure resistance far beyond what is possible with metals or other plastic materials. Attendees of this presentation will learn how leading OEMs have used VICTREX® PEEK polymer in harsh environments to extend performance life, reduce downtime, and lower maintenance costs. The discussion will include technical data, case studies, and insights regarding materials and processing for high-performance sealing systems. Discover why VICTREX® PEEK polymers have provided proven sealing performance in the most extreme oil-field environments for more than 30 years.
