Offshore Umbilicals

Offshore / subsea umbilicals are cables which connect subsea infrastructure and surface facilities/platforms to provide critical connections for the operation and control of subsea equipment. These cables and hoses can deliver power, utilities, communication, chemicals and data. Due to the nature of offshore / subsea operations, all apparatus involved is subjected to dynamic and harsh environments and need to exhibit incredible strength and durability.

Hytrel® is a popular material for this application as its innate properties perfectly suit this high-pressure environment.
