EnDura® elastomers

The EnDura^® range of elite oilfield elastomers has been specifically developed by PPE for use in downhole, surface and subsea oilfield equipment.

EnDura^® offers excellent Explosive Decompression (ED) or Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) resistance. The range includes material grades that provide the ultimate in chemical resistance and low temperature performance for use in Arctic conditions.

Key attributes

EnDura^® has been developed for high performance sealing in critical energy applications. The materials in the EnDura^® family are engineered to handle these rigorous thermal, chemical, and mechanical challenges.

Here are some key operational advantages:

Rapid Gas Decompression resistant

Low temperature capability

High mechanical strength

Chemical resistance

EnDura^® grades are tested to international RGD standards, such as:

TOTAL GS PVV 142
NORSOK M710 Annex B
NACE TM0297
ISO 23936-2

Sudden decompression events can lead to catastrophic seal failure with inferior sealing materials. EnDura^®has been engineered to provide sustained resistance to RGD, which:

Increases seal life expectancy and integrity
Increases productivity through reduced maintenance and downtime
Improves the integrity of oilfield equipment, keeping your operators safer

Expert Guide: 'What is RGD, and why does it matter?' chevron_right

EnDura^® elastomers provide low temperature sealing capability down to -51°C (-60°F) and up to +250°C (+482°F)

Excellent mechanical strength is vital for oilfield seals, where durability, safety, and reliable sealing performance are critical for operators – and a failed seal can have severe economic and environmental consequences.

EnDura^®seals can withstand HPHT environments without deformation, cracking, or extruding. They have also been developed to withstand the abrasion associated with oilfield equipment moving parts, including sand, mud and rock particles.

With better elastic recovery and fatigue resistance, EnDura^®gives operators the confidence that any unscheduled downtime associated with their sealing system will be kept to an absolute minimum.

EnDura^® elastomers have better chemical resistance than conventional RGD resistant grades and are compliant with many international standards for sour gas (H2S) resistance.
