Let’s go deeper Deepwater developments In today’s dynamic world, fossil fuels are becoming increasingly difficult to extract. Nowhere is this more evident then in the offshore oil and gas industry where this trend is driving the development of lightweight materials to replace steel. This is especially true in deeper and more remote waters, requiring new technologies to extract oil more efficiently from existing fields. In addition, with ever higher working pressures, temperatures and more aggressive crudes being extracted, the performance requirements of materials used subsea are becoming increasingly demanding. In this environment Twaron and especially Technora p-aramid fibers come into their own. Key benefits when using our aramid • Reduced weight • Reduced installation costs • Reduced installation time • Extended product lifetimes • Longer lengths • Improved product performance

Offshore applications for p-aramid Our fibers are used as components in many offshore products, including: • umbilicals • flexible flow lines • mooring lines • streamers • optical fiber and working cables • reinforced thermoplastic pipes • straps and slings • large bore hoses • composite pipes and • many other applications. Our product range Twaron and Technora are available in a wide range of grades and linear densities, enabling designers to make effective and efficient use of the fiber of their choice. Special custom-built finishes can be applied to further enhance properties required...
