PLASTIC FASTENERS TO BE USED IN DEEP SEA
(OP)
I have a customer looking for plastic fasteners that will hold up well in a deep sea environment but will also hold its load over a long period of time. Is there a plastic out there that would lend itself to these requirements?

NORSOK M-001 Materials selection says this regarding coatings like Xylan:
For sub-sea installations the use of poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE) based coatings can be used provided electrical continuity is verified by measurements.

The insulator sleeve coupled with ceramic washers (to prevent stress relaxation and loss of preload) sounds like a fine idea.

Isn't seawater pretty conductive?

carbon steel conductivity = 6.99 x 106 S/m
seawater conductivity - 4.8 S/m
