A new Ketron Peek-GF30 blue meets the increasing requirements of the medical industry for repeated sterilisation and more frequent cleaning of medical devices and design flexibility.
Polymers are modified for bearing duties
The Extreme Materials line of engineering plastic stock shapes provides product and design engineers with machining grade polymer materials with optimum levels of performance.
The industry's largest lightweight cable sheaves are made of wear-resistant Monocast polyamide, and are well suited for managing tethers, deploying submersibles, protecting umbilicals for launch and recovery applications.
Measuring up to 3000mm in diameter, Monocast cable sheaves weigh only about one-seventh as much as steel sheaves, lending greater stability and lifting power to cranes and hoisting machines.
Quadrant EPP's cable sheaves resist corrosion and help steel cables last two to five times longer.
The largest track plates made for offshore applications are constructed from wear-resistant Nylatrack nylon.
Designed for use on subsea tractors that install power cables for offshore wind turbines, these track plates can weigh almost 60t when fully loaded.
Yet they can still support and propel tractors on the weak soil characteristic to wind farms.
Quadrant EPP casts its track plates from a specially modified nylon able to be fitted on various kinds of machines operating on all types of surfaces.
Quadrant EPP manufactures plates for the industry's biggest seals designed for valve, christmas tree and pump applications.
Constructed from Nylatron, Ertalon, Techtron and Peek materials, these seals offer solutions for rigorous chemical and thermal resistance in the most aggressive environments.
Contributing to superb performance and lightweight manoeuvrability in survey vessels and remote operated vehicles, Quadrant EPP constructs the largest thruster ducts and stabiliser fins in the offshore industry.
Lastly, Quadrant EPP offers casting capabilities up to 1.6t, giving pipe-in-pipe spacer and bend restrictor projects real-time manufacturing capacities.
In addition to the high-performance materials already mentioned Quadrant EPP portfolio also include Torlon and Celazole used in particular for subsea connector applications.
Offshore Europe 2005 runs from 6th to 9th September 2005 at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre, Scotland.
Quadrant EPP will exhibit on Stand 1249.
