Global Plastics Leader Launches First PEEK Material Line with NORSOK Compliance
Reading, PA (PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products has enhanced its line of Ketron® PEEK products in compliance with NORSOK M-710 standards to improve workplace and environmental safety. The innovations reinforce Quadrant's commitment toward continued technological advancement and improved cost effectiveness in the petroleum industry for research, development and operations.
The Quadrant Ketron® PEEK material line is the material of choice for design engineers and is used in applications ranging from aircraft to oil field drilling, in the form of Structural Parts, Bushings, Bearings, Seals and Back Up Rings. Its advanced properties of chemical and abrasion resistance combined with high temperature rating and strength make it an ideal choice where performance and reliability is required in extreme and hostile environments.
Quadrant is the first engineering plastics manufacturer in its industry to receive the certification under the most severe durability testing environments NORSOK offers. NORSOK standards are an internationally recognized set of testing processes, originally developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry to ensure adequate safety for global petroleum industry developments and operations. Achieving NORSOK M-710 (multiphase sour gas/fluid testing) compliance on its extruded and injection molded/moulded, IM PEEK, stock shapes makes Ketron® PEEK very attractive to design engineers as a high strength alternative to fluoropolymers. According to Jim Hebel, head of technical support for Quadrant EPP, “Ketron® 1000 PEEK sets the new industry standard for performance in extreme environments and achieving NORSOK compliance allows us to better serve our customer’s needs in the oil and petroleum industries.”
