Increase Reliability, Durability and Uptime
Drilling mud and frac fluids are some of the harshest and most destructive media to be sealed. It takes tough, rugged sealing components to last long run-time hours and continuously move high volumes of abrasive frac fluid. Keeping well completion hydraulic fracturing operations going becomes difficult when wear and tear causes leakage or seal failure. Taking frac pump equipment offline to replace fluid end consumable seals and valves is unproductive and costly.
To last for all the stages in a frac job, seals need to be tough. That's where the physical properties of Parker's wear resistant Resilon® polyurethane are well suited. Its PPDI-based polymer chemistry gives it:
- High temperature compatibility in continuous operation temperatures of 230°F (excursion temperatures up to 275°F)
- Extreme abrasion resistance for extended service life
- Resilient and resistant to compression set so it retains high sealing force
- Ability to withstand frictional heat generated by rapid cycling
- High pressure capability up to 15,000 psi
Dual Purpose Pony Rod Seals
Parker's patented Resilon® polyurethane pony rod seal replaces the standard two-piece seal with a single-piece design. It extends continuous service by retaining lubrication, preventing leakage of hydraulic fluid in the power end and serving as a rod wiper to keep contaminants out.
Well Service Packing
Sealing of the extension rods is critical in order to maintain system pressure in positive displacement pump applications. Parker's well service packing sets not only maintain system pressure but also keep the pump's hydraulic fluid and pumping media separated.
Suction and Discharge Cover Seals
Parker's HGP Profile suction and discharge cover seal resists wear due to abrasive fluid proppant, high pressure and vibrating motion generated by high frequency pulsating pressurization. This seal provides over three times the reliable service life compared to a traditional elastomer D-rings.

Operate for longer, under higher temperatures and under more abrasive conditions
Fracing operations are becoming more demanding, and fluid ends are being asked to operate at higher pressures, for longer hours and in more aggressive environments. Sealing components in a well completion fracturing operation need to last long run-times under extreme conditions. Parker’s proprietary Resilon material offers high pressure and temperature capability along with extreme abrasion resistance to extend the life of seals on the fluid power end.

Proprietary Resilon® Polyurethane Raises the Bar for Seal Durability in Frac Pumps
Challenges abound for oil and gas companies during drilling and well completion operations. Drilling mud and frac fluids are some of the harshest and most destructive media to be sealed. It takes tough, rugged sealing components to last long run-time hours and continuously move high volumes of abrasive frac fluid that cause wear and tear on parts.
