Greene, Tweed Adds Stock Shapes to Arlon 3000 XT Portfolio

Greene, Tweed has announced that stock shapes are now available for their pioneering thermoplastic, Arlon^® 3000 XT.

Many of the world’s leading energy service providers are already using Arlon^® 3000 XT finished parts to gain greater performance and certainty in downhole applications and other severe environments that demand material reliability at higher pressures, temperatures and voltage. Now, customers can get the same superior Arlon^® 3000 XT performance in stock shapes, while machining their own parts to their design specifications and gaining better control of turnaround times and inventory levels.

Arlon^® 3000 XT stock shapes are an ideal alternative for OEMs that are looking to extend the temperature, pressure, and voltage capabilities of their current PEEK or PEK materials. Arlon^® 3000 XT is engineered to deliver superior performance across a wide range of applications within a broad range of industries, including oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, aerospace and more.
