Typical challenges

Our specialized elastomer grades are tailored to provide high sealing efficiency for energy sealing solutions in the most inhospitable environments in the world. Below are the most common sealing challenges encountered:

PPE has experience sealing in high temperature, high pressure environments, such as ultra-deep water HP/HT applications of 18,000 psi and 177°C (350°F) and above. We supply a wide range of products into various applications including down-hole tools, subsea equipment and infrastructure, pipeline connectors, valves, compressors and pumps.

Our specialist range of EnDura® oilfield elastomers enable our material and engineering teams to specify an optimal solution for the unique demands of your sealing system. Many of our material grades have been tested to sour gas standards such as NORSOK, NACE, ISO10423 (API 6A) and ISO23936-2.

PPE’s range of Perlast® FFKM materials offer outstanding chemical resistance combined with low or high temperature performance. These perfluoroelastomer materials have been specifically developed to perform under extreme conditions, in temperatures as low as -46°C (-51°F) and as high as +350°C (662°F).

PPE develops and manufactures elastomer sealing materials with virtually universal chemical resistance. The Perlast® family of perfluoroelastomer materials is engineered to handle solvents, steam and amines, among thousands of other chemicals encountered in critical energy applications.

Products

Below is a selection of the most common products we supply to the energy and oil & gas industries. Visit the Products page to see the full range.

Elastomer O-Rings

Fully molded elastomer O-rings for critical sealing applications. Standard and custom sizes available.

X-Rings Quad Rings

X-rings offer an alternative sealing solution to O-rings for a wide range of reciprocating or rotary applications.

T-Seals

T-seals – with T-shaped cross section and two backup rings – offer an excellent sealing solution for static or dynamic applications.

Spring Seals

For applications where large clearance gaps or bi-directional pressures are a factor, consider the effectiveness and strength of a PPE spring seal.

FS Seals

FS seals are a double acting static seal designed for use as casing and tubing hanger seals in wellheads.

Lip Seals

Energized lip seals comprise of a high modulus elastomer jacket and a low modulus elastomer O‑ring energizer.

Chevron Stacks

Chevron stack sets are multi-lip packings which are especially suited to mechanically-challenging conditions.

Production Packers

Production packers are a downhole sealing device which is used to isolate the annulus from the production conduit, enabling controlled production, injection or treatment.

ESP bags

An electric submersible pump (ESP) is used in oil wells to pump fluids to the surface. Discover more about ESP bags here.
