DuPont™ StreaMax™ is a family name of fluoropolymer coatings specially developed for the oil and gas industry. These coatings are specifically designed to:
Maximize well productivity and production rates by:
• Minimizing production interruptions by reducing the number of shutdowns for tubular cleanup.
• Significantly reducing internal buildup of asphaltenes paraffins and scale.
• Reducing fluid flow friction in tubulars.
Maximize tubular life by minimizing corrosion from:
• Sweet and sour gases in the fluid stream.
• Bacterial accumulation inside tubulars.
Reduce overall maintenance costs:
• May permit use of common steel pipe in place of alloy steel for corrosion. Avoids lengthy deliver times for special alloys.
• Reduce risk of reservoir damage by minimizing use of chemicals and solvents.
• Minimize solvent treatment costs.
Technology Enabler
• Marginal wells may now be more economical to operate and be more productive.
All DuPont™ StreaMax™ coatings have the following characteristics:
• Multilayered system, each layer has a specific engineered function.
• Excellent holiday free surface throughout the pipe.
• Excellent adhesion to bare metal.
• Excellent non-stick and product release properties.
• Extremely wide operating temperature range
(Minus 100° C to 260° C, Minus 150° F to 500° F continuous operating temperature).
• Unaffected by high-pressures (up to 10,000 psi).
• Excellent chemical resistance from H2S and CO2 gases and all acids and bases, even at high temperature.
• Very low friction coefficient.
