Performance plastics play a crucial role in the oil and gas industry for a multitude of operations including fracking, offshore, or downhole extraction, to transportation and refinement.
PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), sometimes known by the tradename Kynar®, is an engineering thermoplastic offering high purity, excellent chemical resistance, flame resistance, and abrasion resistance. Easy to weld, PVDF is often seen semiconductor equipment, tank liners, and various seals, fittings, valves, and pump parts.

Applications & Industries
Water & Wastewater
Performance plastics are safe, durable, long-lasting, light weight, and low maintenance, making them a great solution in water and wastewater treatment plants.
Building & Construction
Polymershapes can equip your next project with high quality plastic building materials that will not splinter, warp, rot, or delaminate. Building and construction plastics provide UV and corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and other qualities that protect the integrity of your construction project.
Chemical
Materials used in applications in the chemical, oil and gas segments typically must meet very specific performance requirements.
Related & Associated Products
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high molecular weight polymer with excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties, and a low coefficient of friction. It is a highly versatile plastic material useful in a broad range of high technology market segments and products, and its properties can be modified by additives such as glass fiber, carbon, or graphite.
ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene)
Used in valves, fittings, bearings, pump components and electrical coatings, ETFE tubing is weather-resistant and inert to most solvents and chemicals. Versilon ETFE tubing is also radiation resistant.
ECTFE (Ethylene Chlorotrifluoroethylene)
ECTFE (ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene) offers an excellent combination of properties for chemical and elevated temperature applications. Often used in the semiconductor industry, and cleanroom equipment, ECTFE is corrosion and chemical resistant, with flame resistant properties.
