Subsea technology and its uses of polymer screws, nuts, bolts, and fasteners
The subsea sector, which includes industries like offshore oil and gas, renewable energy (such as wind farms), and deep-sea exploration, operates in extreme underwater environments that demand robust and corrosion-resistant materials. Polymer fasteners have become increasingly significant in this field due to their lightweight properties, high resistance to corrosion, and ability to withstand high pressures and harsh conditions. Unlike traditional metal fasteners, polymers, particularly advanced engineering plastics like PEEK (Polyetheretherketone), are non-conductive, reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion when used in conjunction with other materials. Their use helps to enhance the longevity and performance of subsea infrastructure while reducing maintenance costs.
