Greene, Tweed Publishes New Arlon® 3000 XT Case Study
Houston (PRWEB) February 17, 2016 -- Arlon 3000 XT – How Material and Design Saved Installation Time, shows how Arlon 3000 XT greatly helped one of Greene, Tweed’s customers, a major oilfield services company. Frequent breakage during the installation of the customer’s small back-up rings resulted in a 60-70% scrap rate and significant inventory and production challenges. After replacing their current back-up ring material with a single-material solution, Arlon 3000 XT, the customer reported that their installation scrap rate was reduced to nearly zero.
The case study, along with additional case studies and Arlon 3000 XT news, is accessible at the Arlon 3000 XT microsite: http://www.arlon3000xt.com
The Arlon 3000 XT microsite is a destination resource for engineers and material scientists who are looking to learn more about Greene, Tweed’s pioneering thermoplastic. Its patented technology has the best high-temperature performance of any polyketone, has similar chemical resistance to PEEK and is perfectly suited for applications in which extrusion is a concern.
In 2015, Greene, Tweed announced that Arlon 3000 XT achieved ISO 23936-1 and NORSOK M-710, Rev. 3 compliance. The compliance marks a significant accomplishment for Greene, Tweed and confirms that the material properties of Arlon 3000 XT make it an ideal choice for use in harsh, demanding oil and gas applications which are becoming more common throughout the industry.
