VICTREX LAUNCHES DURABLE LIGHTWEIGHT VICTREX PIPES™ BASED ON ITS VICTREX® PEEK™ HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYMER

 

In response to growing market demand for superior performing pipes in harsh and demanding environments, Victrex Polymer Solutions, world leader in high performance polyaryletherketones, has launched its  VICTREX Pipes™ product family.
 
Developed to replace the corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs) used to make pipes and piping systems for extraction and transportation in the oil and gas industries, VICTREX Pipes offer an opportunity to replace CRAs in pipes and piping systems by lining pipes manufactured in other metals.
 
VICTREX Pipes represent the latest in a long line of material and technical innovation from Victrex. “The launch of VICTREX Pipes is the culmination of six years of intensive research, development, market assessment and customer liaison. VICTREX Pipes can also deliver performance solutions in a broad range of applications beyond the original lined pipes for oil and gas, from industrial to aerospace to electrical sheathing and conduit,” said James Simmonite, Business Leader Pipes, Victrex Polymer Solutions. “Victrex has an unrivalled reputation for identifying challenges in key markets and delivering a solution. VICTREX Pipes are a demonstration of this skill and offer a broad range of properties, including chemical, corrosion, abrasion and permeation resistance at high temperatures, in a flexible lightweight format.”
