PEEK improves performance of offshore oil hose
A new range of hose from offshore oil specialist Kutting has a lining made from Victrex PEEK in a proprietary design that takes advantage of the polymer’s high mechanical properties, and maximises chemical, thermal and permeation resistance. The permeability of Victrex PEEK to hot gases and liquids, including hot methanol, is an estimated 100 times lower than existing polymer hose materials and has a 260 degC continuous use temperature.
