Fluoropolymers combine all these properties and are therefore ideally suited for Exploration & Production components to be used in very harsh and highly corrosive environments. Solvay Solexis offer a family of melt processable fluoropolymers that include SOLEF? and HYLAR? PVDF, HALAR? ECTFE, HYFLON? PFA. Typical applications in Oil & Gas are flexible risers and static flowlines, reinforced pipes, umbilicals for chemical injection, electro-mechanical cable encapsulation, corrosion protective linings and coatings. This paper presents an overview of the key performances of fluoropolymers related to the most common corrosion issues in Oil & Gas applications, in particular in terms of resistance to chemical attack, swelling and permeation, both in extraction and in refinery. A brief overview of the typical applications for fluoropolymers is provided along with a description of their main benefits vs. other technical solutions. 收起
