ARKEMA

Umbilicals are the critical link between the surface and underwater equipment such as the wellheads, subsea manifolds and ROV's. Because of its outstanding chemical resistance and durability, Rilsan® PA11 is used as the liner in umbilicals to transport hydraulic and injection fluids. Rilsan® PA11 is also used in the outer sheathing protecting the bundled tubes and cables. The unique offering of Rilsan® PA11 TLO provides an oligomer-free solution, which prevents the clogging of smaller pipes. Kynar Flex® Fluoropolymers can be used for more demanding conditions because of its resistance to harsh chemicals and higher temperatures, and its lower permeation properties... The flexible tubes used for the transportation of oil and gas are under enormous physical and chemical stress. With Kynar® polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), Kepstan® PEKK, and Rilsan® bio-based polyamide 11 (PA11), the Arkema group provides a wide range of solutions to protect them against corrosion, chemical attacks, and..
