INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Plastics for Oil & Gas
From downhole heat to wellhead winters, oil and gas asks more of a seal than almost any industry. PEEK, PTFE and fluoropolymer compounds hold sealing performance where specialty metals corrode, gall or cost a fortune — and better seals translate directly into production. We stock the grades and machine seats, rings and wear components to your drawings, with material certs on request.
Common Oil & Gas Applications
- Piston, chevron and gland seals
- Anti-extrusion rings and back-up rings
- Valve seats
- Packings
- Bushings, bearings
- Lantern rings
- Fracballs
- Labyrinth seals
- Down-hole electrical insulators
- Gaskets
- Lifting systems components (sheaves, rollers, guides)
- Shrouds
- Sight glasses
- Pipe and pipe support systems (saddles, carrier rings), grating/stairs
Why Plastics Win
- Reduced weight and lower cost than traditional materials (specialty metals)
- Better sealing performance
- Greater design flexibility (most engineering plastics are readily modified for specific applications)
- Handles harsh environments (from downhole heat to Arctic conditions to subsea systems)
- Corrosion resistant
- Improved efficiencies (better sealing properties, lower coefficient of friction)
- Easier to machine, ship and install
- Reduce/eliminate lubrication dependency
- Excellent electrical insulation properties
- Static dissipative and conductive grades available
- Less wear on mating parts

HOW WE SUPPORT OIL & GAS
Stocked, cut to size, and machined to your drawings
Sheet, rod and tube in the grades this industry specs, no full-sheet minimums. CNC routing, laser cutting, bending, welding and machining under our ISO 9001:2015 system (Cert No. 23746), with material certs and first article inspection on request. Prototype to production.
