Fluoropolymers in petroleum and mining

 


 

Everflon Fluorolymers Co., Ltd. Everflon™ Fluoropolymers are widely used in the oil and gas industry, which involves the transfer of aggressive chemical agents, such as oils, acids and petroleum and gas products, and is also exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Oil and gas drilling requires the use of “downhole” fluids that contain aggressive additives. In addition, the pumped liquids contain a broad mix of compounds that can degrade piping and pumping equipment. The drilling equipment can also be exposed to high temperatures and pressures.

 


 

Everflon™ Fluoropolymers are used in sealings for pipes, valves and joints and as inner liners and coatings for piping and high-pressure hoses, due to their high chemical and heat resistance. Other examples of equipment using Everflon™ fluoropolymers includes exploration seals, on/off and control valves for fluids, pumps, actuators and control accessories.
 
Their low permeation rate also makes fluoropolymers an ideal material for sealings, valves and pumps for gas transfer and storage equipment, as it minimises leakage.

Everflon Fluorolymers Co., Ltd. Everflon™ Fluoropolymers are also used as insulation and jacketing of cables used in drilling and prospecting tools and equipment, as well as in surface and downhole cables and subsea cables for offshore installations. Use of fluoropolymers in cables allows for the cables’ downsizing, making them more suitable for downhole applications (e.g., data logging, trace heating and ESP power cables).
