CHEMRAZ® 505

Chemraz — The ultimate elastomer for demanding oilfield applications—gives excellent sealing performance when exposed to mixes of aggressive chemicals found downhole and is often specified by operators. Special compounds have been formulated for improved resistance to rapid gas decompression and abrasion, giving significant reductions in downtime and maintenance.

          

Chemraz compounds are compatible with all well fluids and gases and injection and treatment chemicals, including reservoir fluids with high H₂S content, stimulation treatment fluids, completion fluids and asphaltene removers such as Xylene and Toluene together with amine-based inhibitors. Chemraz is available in O-ring, Vee ring, G-T® ring, electrical connector boots, slabs, metal bonded seals, Arlon® thermoplastic bonded seals, miniature seals, diaphragms and custom configurations.

Typical Applications

• Subsurface safety valves

Chemraz Compounds

• Chemraz 505—Universal compound. High/low temperature capabilities (-22°F to 466°F, -30°C to 230°C).
• Chemraz 510—Developed specifically for O-ring applications in downhole environments. High/low temperature capabilities (-22°F to 466°F, -30°C to 230°C).
• Chemraz 526—The ultimate rapid gas decompression resistant perfluoroelastomer. High/low temperature capabilities (4°F to 482°F, -20°C to 250°C).
• Chemraz 562—The ultimate high-temperature elastomer (10°F to 600°F, -12°C to 316°C).
• Chemraz 564/566 LT—Low temperature material delivers exceptional performance in extreme environments (-40°F to 445°F, -40°C to 229°C).
• Chemraz 600—High/low temperature capabilities (-4°F to 500°F, -20°C to 260°C). Higher durometer gives greater resistance to rapid gas decompression and aggressive environments.
• Chemraz 605—High-temperature capabilities (-4°F to 500°F, -20°C to 260°C) in aggressive oilfield environments.
