Behind the Scenes: How We Create Custom Polyurethane Parts for Offshore Applications

In offshore oil and gas, durability and reliability aren't just preferences - they're necessities. At MPC, we specialize in advanced thermoset polyurethanes and manufacture high performance components tailored to withstand these harsh conditions.

In this post, we're giving you an inside look at one of our most innovative products: our patented clip Vertebrae Bend Restrictor (VBR).

Our Process: Precision in Every Step

Creating our custom clip VBRs starts with precision and expertise. We use a cast mold process that guarantees consistent quality and resilience in every part. Our skilled team ensures each part is carefully de-molded and inspected for quality and durability.

Each step in this process is essential to meet strict durability standards needed for offshore applications, where components must endure extreme conditions to protect flexible risers, umbilicals, and subsea cables.

What Makes Our Patented VBR Clips Different?

Our boltless VBR clips aren't just another offshore solution; they’re the result of years of research and real-world testing.

Here’s why customers rely on our VBRs for reliable offshore performance:

  • Patented Design for Optimal Bend Restriction: Our unique design offers unmatched flexibility while effectively protecting cables, hoses, and other essential offshore components, preventing excessive bending in demanding environments.
  • Engineered for Harsh Conditions: Offshore environments expose materials to saltwater, high pressure, and fluctuating temperatures. Our polyurethane VBRs are built to handle it all, delivering uncompromised performance without constant maintenance. 
  • Customizable Solutions for Unique Project Needs: In addition to our core VBR products, we also offer tailored solutions to meet specific project requirements. From adjustments in size and shape to customized performance, we collaborate with clients to ensure a precise fit. 

Our Expertise in Custom Polyurethane Manufacturing 

Beyond our VBRs, we offer custom polyurethane products and components for a wide range of applications. From prototype to final production, our team ensures high-quality results at every stage of development. Whether you need specific material properties, a unique geometry, or components built to rigorous safety standards, we’re here to help.
