Engineered Plastic Solutions for Oil, Gas & Renewable Energy Systems

At Lehigh Valley Plastics, we supply high-performance plastic components designed for the extreme demands of the energy industry — including traditional oil and gas as well as emerging sectors like wind power and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure.

From offshore drilling to onshore wind farms, and from fluid control to electrical insulation, our precision-machined plastic parts deliver the strength, reliability, and resistance needed to operate in harsh, high-performance environments.

Whether you’re developing EV charging stations, turbine components, or refinery systems, we provide materials and machining expertise trusted by energy equipment manufacturers across the full spectrum of the power sector.

Why Plastics Are Essential in the Evolving Energy Landscape

Energy systems — whether fossil-based or renewable — require materials that perform under pressure, withstand environmental extremes, and resist chemical or electrical stress. Engineering plastics meet these needs while offering major advantages over metal in weight, corrosion resistance, and versatility.

We work with advanced materials specifically chosen for oil & gas, electric power, and renewable energy systems, including:

  • PEEK (Ketron™, TECAPEEK®, SustaPEEK®) – High strength, chemical resistance, and temperature stability
  • PTFE (Fluorosint™, Teflon™) – Exceptional chemical resistance, low friction, and non-stick performance
  • Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) (RADEL®, TECASON, SustaPPSU)– Heat and chemical resistance with excellent dimensional stability
  • Nylon (PA) (Nylatron™, TECAMID®, Sustamid®) – Durable and wear-resistant, ideal for load-bearing components
  • Acetal (POM) (Acetron™, TECAFORM®, Sustarin®) – Great for parts requiring stability, low friction, and moisture resistance
  • PVDF (TECAFLON®, SustaPVDF®) – For extreme conditions that require excellent chemical resistance and good mechanical strength
  • Glass- and carbon-filled grades – Reinforced materials for added stiffness and strength

Key Benefits of Plastics in Energy Applications:

  • Lightweight and corrosion-resistant for outdoor and offshore use
  • Withstand exposure to oil, gas, chemicals, saltwater, and high-pressure fluids
  • Electrically insulating and non-sparking options for power and EV components
  • Excellent wear and thermal resistance in high-load or rotating applications
  • Lower cost of fabrication and maintenance compared to metal alternatives
  • Compliant with industry-specific safety and regulatory standards

Energy Applications

We machine and fabricate precision plastic components for a broad range of energy technologies — helping customers reduce weight, improve performance, and extend service life in critical systems.

Examples of components we manufacture include:

  • Valve seats and seals (oil & gas, chemical)
  • Wear rings and bushings (pumps, turbines)
  • Insulating blocks and housings (electrical systems, EV chargers)
  • Back-up rings and guide components (fluid power)
  • Gears, rollers, and structural components (wind turbines, substations)
  • Flow control and instrumentation housings (refineries, power plants)

Whether you’re managing fossil fuel operations or designing next-generation renewable infrastructure, Lehigh Valley Plastics is your trusted partner for durable, engineered solutions built for performance in the modern energy economy.
