Specializing In High-Tech Products For Use Under Extreme Conditions

The following examples demonstrate the company's expertise:

1. Client: U.S. Air Force – Developed anti-abrasive compounds for F-16 fighter jet air intake systems. Extreme conditions: highly abrasive supersonic particles; high range of operating temperatures.
2. Client: Shell Oil Company – Created protective coating for the Auger Net used under Shell's offshore drilling platforms to prevent ships from drifting into drilling equipment. Extreme conditions: abrasive contact with offshore vessels; exposure to corrosive chemicals from drilling sludge; seawater corrosion.
3. Client: U.S. Navy – Formulated coating for naval buoys and boat fenders. Extreme conditions: abrasive contact with marine vessels; corrosion from seawater.
4. Client: Disneyland/Disney World – Developed custom coating for flexible foam water containment structures at Disney Water Parks. Extreme conditions: chemicals from chlorinated water; ultra-violet rays from sun exposure; impacts and abrasions from water park guests.
5. Clients: Offshore Oil & Gas Exploration Companies – Created protective compounds for rotary table impact pads on offshore drilling platforms. Extreme conditions: constant impacts and abrasion from drill bits and sections of drill pipe; exposure to corrosive chemicals from drilling sludge; seawater corrosion.

The care and attention given by Industrial Polymers to the development and production of their line of specialty coating compounds has been carried forward into their day-to-day support to the SPEEDLINER® dealer system.
