Elastomers play a crucial role in the functionality of blowout preventers (BOPs). These resilient, rubber-like materials are effective sealants, preventing leaks and ensuring safety. The different types of elastomers play different roles in offshore drilling...
Exploring the Significance of Elastomers in the Oilfield
In the oil and gas sector, prominent components like BOP Rams and large machinery receive much attention. These parts are in the spotlight because of their noticeable functions. Whereas elastomers also play an important part in oilfield operations that shouldn’t be...
Elastomers 101: The Properties of Elastomers
Certain components often go unnoticed in industrial machinery, yet their significance is immeasurable. Elastomers, versatile polymers known for their elasticity, are essential to your Blowout Preventers (BOPs). But why are they important, how do they function, and...
Elastomer Properties and Where to Use Them
You’ve probably heard about elastomers in oil drilling operations, and you wonder what elastomer properties make this material special. Elastomers are polymers with greater viscosity and elasticity than natural rubber. This viscoelastic material is an excellent...
What Are Elastomers Used For?
There are many products that we don’t pay attention to because they are not a large part of our lives. Elastomers are one of these products. What are they, and what are they used for? In this blog, we will answer those questions. These materials are types of rubber...
6 Types of Elastomers & What They Do
As anyone in the oil and gas industry knows, elastomers are an essential part of any BOP. These strong, rubber-like objects serve as excellent sealants for blowout preventers to keep leaks from occurring. But just like there are different types of BOPs suited for...
The Functions of Elastomers in the Oilfield
Most of the oil and gas industry’s attention is focused on equipment such as BOP Rams, drills, and other heavy-duty machinery. This makes sense since these machines are the most visible and do the most work. However, as you maintain and occasionally upgrade your...
