Ticona to Exhibit Engineering Polymers and Composites at CORROSION 2012
Ticona Engineering Polymers is showcasing its high-performance engineering polymers and continuous fiber reinforced composites for the most extreme and challenging oil and gas operating environments at Booth # 2004 during NACE International's CORROSION 2012 Conference & Expo from March 12 to 15 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City.
The Ticona exhibit will highlight Fortron® polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) grades and Celstran® continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic (CFR-TP) composites for on- and off-shore oil and gas applications.
Fortron PPS for Pipe Liners and Flexible Composite Pipe
Fortron PPS delivers performance in some of the most extreme and challenging environments. Harsh oilfield conditions can take their toll on the most resilient materials. Heat and corrosive elements like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) pose a constant threat to oil and gas operations. In this hostile environment, Fortron PPS can minimize costly maintenance and repair. As a liner, it can greatly prolong the life of steel and offers many cost-effective advantages as an overall metal replacement.
Successful high performance products based on Fortron PPS polymers are extensively used in a broad spectrum of applications in various industries, including oil and gas, automotive, industrial, electrical/electronic/semiconductor, and technical fibers and filters, which require key high performance material characteristics:
o High temperature resistance
o Chemical resistance
o Low permeation properties
o Dimensional stability
o High strength and modulus
o Wear resistance
o Corrosion resistance
o Flame resistance
o Hydrolytic stability
Celstran CFR-TP for Robust Piping Systems
Celstran composite products are available as unidirectional (UD) tapes, which can increase the in line burst and operating pressures of thermoplastic pipe when wound around and joined to piping systems for reinforcement, or as continuous rods, shapes and profiles that can replace steel tensile members in ropes and cabling applications both on- and off-shore. Celstran CFR-TP (continuous fiber composites) offer:
o Low weight with high stiffness and toughness
o Excellent impregnation technology for high performance mechanical and thermal properties
o Excellent dimensional stability
o Superior chemical and corrosion resistance
o Eco-friendly processing, good recyclability
Ticona CFR-TP UD tape can also be used in on-shore and off-shore piping systems, including, including service lines, risers and umbilicals. These composite pipes are lightweight, flexible, durable and spoolable, allowing for fast installation speeds up to 500 meters an hour.
