Application / Oil & Gas

The right polymer still
needs strong layer bonds.

When failure is not an option, trusted materials, known design values and early fault detection are a must.

From material choice to finished component

Look closely at what the job demands.

01

Keep the material requirements in view

Start with the polymer and the conditions it needs to handle. Fillers, reinforcement and limits on formulation changes matter both to the application and to how the material responds to heating.

02

Match the material specification

Keep the material specification your component was designed around. With unreinforced polymers and high-quality, pore-free extrusion, DEMEX can achieve isotropic mechanical properties at the level of compression-molded bulk material. That gives you a route to the performance you already expect from that polymer.

03

Catch outliers before finishing

Recorded numerical temperature values help your team spot outliers early in production, before costly machining, finishing and QA. Investigate unusual runs sooner and put your time into the parts that are on track, improving the whole route from pellet to finished product.

Start with the component

What does your printed component need to withstand?

Let’s work through the requirements.

Tell us the material grade, service conditions and dimensions that matter. We can then discuss where layer adhesion or retained heat is limiting the print and what a useful trial would look like.

Suitability for service has to be established for the component. Thermal control is one part of making and validating it.
