The oil and gas exploration and production industry is constantly innovating, and Norplex-Micarta materials are enabling new designs and functionality. Both sheet and tube products have been successfully utilized in various components used in oil and gas downhole tool applications.
In oil and gas structures, Norplex-Micarta fabric-reinforced materials provide excellent impact resistance along surfaces that may experience force applications. Thermoset materials can also be designed to resist moisture or chemicals for long life in corrosive or wet environments or where galvanic concerns need attention. Materials are available in sheet form or in tubes up to 48 inches in diameter and 48 inches long.
