Ultra and High-Performance Plastics for 
Oil and Gas

Today more than ever, engineers are turning to advanced materials to help them recover and process crude oil and natural gas. The move toward deep water off-shore reserves means higher temperatures and pressures than those found in shallow waters. Plus, many of the new reserves have higher sulfur content and are more chemically agressive. As the manufacturer of more plastics with more performance, Solvay makes it easy for you to find just the right material for reliable performance in this increasingly hostile enviornment. 

AvaSpire Oil Picture

KetaSpire® PEEK is characterized by an excellent balance of properties, including a heat deflection temperature of 315°C, continuous-use temperature up to 240°C, best-in-class fatigue resistance, and outstanding resistance to organics, acids, and bases.

AvaSpire® modified PEEK is a family of proprietary PEEK-based formulations with unique advantages that bridge price and performance gaps. They offer improved toughness relative to PEEK, as well as higher mechanical performance between 150-240°C.

PrimoSpire® self-reinforced polyphenylene is the world’s stiffest and strongest unreinforced polymer with a remarkable combination of surface hardness, chemical resistance, and inherent flame-retardant properties. This, combined with its ease of machining, abrasion resistance, low moisture pick-up, dimensional stability, and low thermal expansion makes it ideal for high-precision components.

Torlon® polyamide-imide combines exceptional strength at temperatures up to 275°C with excellent resistance to creep, abrasion, and chemicals. It has low thermal expansion and high dielectric properties, and is more cost effective than machined thermoset polyimides.

Amodel® polyphthalamide with a heat deflection temperature of 536°F (280°C) and continuous use temperature of 338°F (170°C), Amodel resin can deliver the thermal performance you need for the short term as well as the long haul. It retains its exceptional mechanical properties – strength, stiffness, fatigue and creep resistance – over a broad temperature range and in high humidity environments.
