Products Overview

Polycore Products

Polycore liners have successfully proven the use of thermoplastic liners in down-hole applications since 1992. These liners:

    • • Drastically reduce operating costs associated with rod-on-tubing wear and tubing corrosion failures
    • • Alleviate wear and corrosion failures in beam-pumped and progressive cavity pumped wells through the use of proprietary lubricants
    • • Eliminate additional costs for slim hole rod boxes or rod guides in highly deviated and dog-legged wells
    • • Control tubular corrosion in other artificially lifted wells and disposal wells

Many operators report decreased pressure drops and electrical cost savings and increased production due to fundamental hydraulic benefits of the Polycore liner’s extremely smooth surface. With proven resistance to wireline, acid, and chemical damage, a unique mechanical bonding capability allows reuse of used and lower quality tubing saving on steel costs. Due to the bonding procedure used with Polycore liners, pipe with surface imperfections may be lined over damaged and existing internal plastic coatings without the additional cost of removal. The Polycore connection system is the most reliable and easiest lining to install in the OCTG corrosion control industry.


Polycore High Density Polyethylene Liner

Polycore™ is a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liner. This patented product is highly abrasion resistant and successfully mitigates rod on tubing wear, wireline, mechanical, and handling damage. HDPE is chemically inert to corrosive materials enhancing its use as a corrosion barrier. The mechanically-bonded seamless thermoplastic tube tolerates minor pipe surface imperfections and eliminates concerns with holidays or voids as in adhesive or thermally bonded liners and coatings. Maximum Temperature 71° C (160° F) Oil, 82° C (180° F) Aqueous.

Modified Polycore High Density Polyethylene Liner

Modified Polycore™ is a High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) liner. Highly abrasion resistant, this patented product successfully mitigates tubing rod wear, wireline, mechanical, and handling damage. HDPE is chemically inert to corrosive materials enhancing its use as a corrosion barrier. The mechanically-bonded seamless thermoplastic tube tolerates minor surface imperfections and eliminates concerns with holidays or voids as in adhesive or thermally bonded liners and coatings.

Enertube Polyolefin Liner

Enertube™, a liner manufactured from a specially formulated blend of polyolefins, provides a moderate increase in tensile strength and temperature resistance over the field-proven Polycore. This second generation of liners is specifically designed to operate in wells too hot for Polycore™ and as a seamless mechanically bonded liner, provides a smooth tubing surface. Maximum Temperature 99° C (210° F) in all services.

Ultratube Engineering Thermoplastic Liner

Ultratube™ is a high-performance liner manufactured from a proprietarily blended polyphenylene sulfide thermoplastic resin specially formulated for use in down-hole oil and gas production environments. This third generation liner provides a significant increase in temperature stability, tensile strength, abrasion and chemical resistance over the other proven liners. The innovative polymers in the Ultratube™ offer the broadest range of resistance to solvents, steam, strong bases, fuel, and acids. These new polymers limit (not prevent) the permeability of acid gases such as CO2 and H2S. Maximum Temperature 175° C (350° F) in all services.

Extremetube Engineering Thermoplastic Liner for Extreme Conditions

Extremetube™ is a high-performance liner for the most extreme operating conditions. This unique liner is made from PEEK Polymer and is the highest tensile strength and highest temperature liner available. Extremetube™ is an excellent alternative to corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) tubulars and offers protection against corrosion and wear problems under the most severe environmental conditions. Maximum Temperature 260° C (500° F).

The Polycore Difference

Polycore has run more than 20 MILLION METERS (70 million feet)  of thermoplastic liners throughout the world. We have the knowledge and expertise to provide a tubular solution for ANY well environment. Find out more about WHO WE ARE by clicking below.

Polycore’s technologically advanced thermoplastic liners are more robust, flexible and less expensive than the alternative thermoset coating. This type of liner technology is suitable for all types of good environments regardless of temperature, depth or well type. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more!

Our patented liner technology has been designed to solve wear and corrosion issues in both water and producing well bores. It is so flexible in its design, that no longer do you need to run different strings for one or the other. This is an ideal solution for a CONVERSION WELL. This versatility directly translates to less changeover and speaks to its longevity. Visit our Applications for more detail.

Industry leaders in major producing regions around the world are running our technologically advanced liners to reap cost savings, reduce workover downtimes and increase revenue. Don’t be left in the dust. Contact us to hear more about the solution we have for you!
