What is UltraCOMP™
UltraCOMP Engineered Thermoplastics are semicrystalline
materials manufactured for extreme
temperatures, chemicals and pressures. Such
capabilities translate into reduced equipment down time
and increased productivity. For example, UltraCOMP
back-up rings exhibit optimum flexibility and strength —
flexibility for ease of installation and high tensile strength
properties for premiere extrusion resistance.
High Temperature Capability
UltraCOMP’s high temperature capability makes it ideal
for oilfield applications, particularly
down hole where
temperatures can reach
500°F. At high
temperatures,
UltraCOMP retains its
strength and
becomes more
flexible to bridge
extrusion gaps. The
introduction of glass,
carbon or graphite
fiber fillers reinforces
virgin UltraCOMP —
enhancing the
mechanical and
thermal properties of
the thermoplastic.
