The oil and gas industry operates in some of the harshest environments on Earth—extreme temperatures, corrosive chemicals, and high pressures are daily challenges. To meet these demands, special elastomers-based oil field components are increasingly becoming the material of choice for high-performance sealing and mechanical systems. At Kriloha Ltd, we specialize in supplying advanced oilfield products, including components made from specially formulated elastomers that significantly enhance reliability, longevity, and performance.
This article explores the role of special elastomers in oilfield applications, their benefits, and their integration into critical components such as chevron seals, industrial seals, chevron packing, and vee packing seals.
Elastomers are polymers with high elasticity and resilience, capable of returning to their original shape after being stretched or compressed. Special elastomers refer to advanced formulations designed for high-performance applications in sectors like oil and gas, where typical rubber materials fail.
HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)
FKM (Fluorocarbon Elastomers like Viton®)
FFKM (Perfluoroelastomers)
EPDM, Aflas, NBR, and more
These materials are resistant to:
Hydrocarbon fluids
Extreme temperatures (-50°C to +250°C)
High pressure
Abrasion and chemical attack
Kriloha Ltd incorporates these elastomers into a range of oilfield components to provide exceptional sealing and performance under pressure. Below are some critical components made using these advanced materials:
Also known as chevron packing, these are stackable V-shaped seals used primarily in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.
Made with HNBR or Viton® for enhanced performance
Withstand dynamic pressure changes and temperature fluctuations
Used in blowout preventers, control valves, and drilling tools
Consist of multiple interlocking rings, typically made from elastomers with fabric reinforcement.
Offer long-lasting sealing performance under extreme conditions
Provide low friction and high wear resistance
Used in pistons, actuators, and valves
Our portfolio includes O-rings, X-rings, lip seals, and custom profiles made with special elastomers.
Maintain sealing under high-pressure hydraulic systems
Resist aggressive chemical media like H2S and methane
Ideal for pumps, compressors, and flange connections
We also design and manufacture bespoke elastomeric seals for unique applications.
Designed in collaboration with engineers and OEMs
Tailored hardness, color, and chemical resistance
Withstand high cycle rates and dynamic applications without degradation.
Resist degradation from crude oil, drilling fluids, and aggressive chemicals.
Operate effectively in both Arctic and desert environments.
Improve equipment uptime and reduce costly replacements.
Manufactured to meet API, NORSOK, and ISO standards.
Use chevron seals and vee packing seals made with high-performance elastomers.
Ensure no leakage during sudden pressure surges.
Components made from FKM and HNBR help tools operate deep underground.
Withstand abrasive and corrosive environments.
Industrial seals in wellheads and pumps made from FFKM ensure long-term sealing.
