V717, V9M2, & V866\r\nFormulated for Low-Temperature Applications<\/span><\/em><\/h1>\r\nFreezing conditions can be harsh on elastomeric seals. As temperatures drop below the material\u2019s capabilities, elastomers can become more plastic-like. This change leads to reduced flexibility, increased brittleness, less rebound, and a diminished ability to maintain a proper seal.\r\n\r\nTo provide our customers with low-temperature sealing solutions while maintaining high-temperature performance and other key properties, we have formulated two specialty Viton\u2122 compounds, V717 and V9M2, and a fluorocarbon (FKM) compound, V866.\r\n\r\nOur V717 is a general-use low-temperature Viton\u2122 compound that has undergone third-party testing for low-temperature valve sealing performance. It achieved an outstanding result at a temperature of -60\u00b0C per MESC SPE 77\/312 standards for Fugitive Emission Production Testing.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, our V9M2, a Viton\u2122 compound, achieved remarkable results at -40\u00b0C when tested with the same standards. V9M2 was formulated for environments where rapid gas decompression (RGD) may be a concern. It has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it meets industry standards for RGD and sour service conditions, including:\r\n
