Special Elastomers-Based Oil Field Components by Kriloha Ltd

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.

What Are Special Elastomers?

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.

Types of Special Elastomers Used:

  • 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

Applications in Oilfield Products

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:

1. Chevron Seals

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

2. Vee Packing Seals

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

3. Industrial Seals

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

4. Custom Components

We also design and manufacture bespoke elastomeric seals for unique applications.

  • Designed in collaboration with engineers and OEMs

  • Tailored hardness, color, and chemical resistance

Advantages of Special Elastomer Components in Oilfield Use

Durability

Withstand high cycle rates and dynamic applications without degradation.

Chemical Resistance

Resist degradation from crude oil, drilling fluids, and aggressive chemicals.

Temperature Tolerance

Operate effectively in both Arctic and desert environments.

Reduced Maintenance

Improve equipment uptime and reduce costly replacements.

Compliance

Manufactured to meet API, NORSOK, and ISO standards.

Real-World Applications

Blowout Preventers (BOPs)

  • Use chevron seals and vee packing seals made with high-performance elastomers.

  • Ensure no leakage during sudden pressure surges.

Downhole Tools

  • Components made from FKM and HNBR help tools operate deep underground.

  • Withstand abrasive and corrosive environments.

Surface Equipment

  • Industrial seals in wellheads and pumps made from FFKM ensure long-term sealing.
