Bearing failures in downhole pumps can result in significant process interruptions and extra costs for unscheduled maintenance. Backup rings injection molded by Drake Plastics in Syensqo’s 30% glass filled KetaSpire® PEEK XT resin retain higher mechanical properties at elevated temperatures to extend the service life of the equipment. The new PEEK formulation also offers improved melt stability which preserves the material’s overall properties during high temperature processing versus conventional PEEK polymers.
