Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the use of polyaryletherketone-based thermoplastic materials in the fabrication of logging tools employed in high pressure, high temperature, downhole logging applications. A polyaryletherketone resin bonded with glass fibers is formed into a housing for the logging tool. The housing is constructed by any of the following processes: filament winding or compression molding. When used with a logging tool, the housing encloses the operative components of the logging tool, such as sensors and sources, and protects the operative components from borehole fluids.

Abstract: An elastomeric composition having improved resistance to chemical attack is provided, the elastomeric composition including a perfluoroelastomer and a non-fibrillating particulate fluorographite. Also, a process for improving the processibility and resistance to chemical attack of a perfluoroelastomer is provided, in which the perfluoroelastomer is mixed with a non-fibrillating fluorocarbon particulate polymer to form a elastomeric composition which is processed at a temperature less than the melting temperature of the non-fibrillating fluorocarbon particulate polymer to disperse the fluorocarbon polymer throughout the perfluoroelastomer while maintaining the fluorocarbon polymer in particulate form. A method of making a seal which is resistant to chemical attack for preventing the leakage of a fluid between a first member and a second member is also provided.

Abstract: Laminates prepared by co-curing terpolymers of tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoromethyl perfluorovinylether, and a halogen-containing cure site monomer with a second peroxide-curable elastomer. The laminates can be bonded to a variety of substrates.

Abstract: Co-vulcanizable fluoroelastomer blends of tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro-(methylvinyl-ether)/cure-site monomer terpolymer and hexafluoropropylene oxide/cure-site monomer dipolymer.

Abstract: Allyl-, propargyl- and allenyl- tin curatives for fluoroelastomers with nitrile cure sites provide rapid curing combined with excellent stability in aqueous environments.

Abstract: Vulcanizates of certain fluoroelastomer terpolymer compositions, wherein the terpolymer is derived from tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether), and a cure-site monomer, and further wherein the composition contains non-black filler, exhibit significantly improved stability upon heat aging when small quantities of quinacridone-type pigments are incorporated therein.
