High Performance Sealing Solutions in the Valve Industry

Precision Polymer Engineering (PPE) is a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of high performance moulded elastomer O-rings, seals, gaskets and other components for various industries around the world. PPE’s elastomer materials are specifically engineered to perform in the most demanding environments, including extreme temperatures and chemically aggressive applications.

With increasingly complex challenges faced by the oil and gas industry, it is important that the correct valves and the corresponding seals are employed, to avoid experiencing equipment failure and consequently system downtime. This has become an even more significant requirement since the increasing emergence of sour gas (hydrogen sulphide) during the extraction operations, notably in the search for new oil and gas reserves. Sour gas is a highly corrosive and poisonous substance to both humans and animals. In order to extract hydrocarbons safely and efficiently, it is necessary to use valve seals that are able to resist the aggressive nature of sour gas.

As specialists in oil and gas sealing solutions, PPE offers an extensive range of reliable elastomer O-rings, specifically developed to perform in such harsh environments and extreme conditions including sour gas.

PPE will be displaying its latest products at Valve World Expo, in Dusseldorf, Germany 2-4 December 2014. Visit stand A63 in Hall 03 to discover how PPE’s high performance seals can benefit your business.

For subsea operations, elastomer O-rings must be able to perform under extreme pressures, usually several thousand psi, while also at very low temperatures of between 32-37°F (0-3°C). This particular environment requires elastomers with low glass transition temperatures to ensure a bubble tight seal.

At the other end of the spectrum PPE also offers elastomer seals that can cope with extremely high temperatures found in oil and gas extraction operations. These high grade materials can not only cope with temperatures exceeding 572°F (300°C), they can also resist the corrosive effectsof volatile and aggressive fluids, including sour gas.

Working closely with a wide range of leading global companies and across a variety of industries, PPE is committed to developing sealing solutions that perform in difficult applications, last longer, require less maintenance and deliver the lowest cost of ownership.
