Oil and Gas Grades

Recognising the growing challenges that face the oil and gas exploration and extraction industry, PPE has developed the most technically advanced range of elastomer materials available.
The ENDURA™ range of elite materials has been specifically developed for use in downhole, surface and subsea oilfield equipment and offers excellent explosive decompression (ED) resistance. The range includes material grades that provide the ultimate in chemical resistance and low temperature performance for use in Arctic conditions.
