"Easy" oil is gone, so global oil ser v ice companies and end-users must f ind new oil reser ves, get to them quick ly and safely, and ma ximize recover y. For these nonconventional reser ves, companies must expose valuable equipment to extreme temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive f luids and gases. V ICTR EX ® PEEK-based components, such as seals and connectors, can sur v ive and thrive in the most extreme env iron- F or more than three decades, Victrex has collaborated with customers to help turn the toughest challenges into benefits. e United Kingdom-based sup- plier of high-performance polymer solu- tions are created from the company's key raw material supplies, as well as supplies from non-Victrex sources. As a polyaryl - THIS MONTH: SILVER CORPORATE MEMBER VICTREX ments. The poly meric solutions are used in more than 75 million sealing systems today. As product leaders driv ing future performance, Victrex focuses on enabling the production of safe, reliable, and eff i- cient dow nhole tools that help reduce dow ntime and risk. Victrex has gained expertise by part- nering w ith industr y-leading companies to understand and create solutions that address industr y megatrends and def ine future performance. As the global authority on corrosion and corrosion protection, NACE International allows Silver Corporate Member Victrex unri- valed access to a range of industr y experts, conferences, committees, publi- cations, standards, and training to ensure that we are able not only to better understand the corrosion-related issues faced by industr y but also to bring the best possible poly mer solutions to those that need them. What does the future hold for Victrex?

This new capacity added 2,900 metric tonnes of poly mer output. Victrex has off icially opened a new A PTI V ® f ilm manufacturing facility to support the continuously rising demand for versatile, extremely thin, and durable thermoplas- tic f ilm. This year, Victrex is leading a consortium of companies and institu- tions pursuing innovation in 3D printing. Victrex was awarded funding from the United K ingdom's agency for innovation, Innovate UK , to help drive the project for ward.
