EXTREME ELEVATED TEMPERATURES

Rubberatkins have developed materials for improved physicals, longevity, and elevated temperatures. Mechanical testing of elastomers can be carried out at temperature which in turn leads to the optimization of properties at elevated temperatures.

STEAM

Materials have been designed and successfully tested at temperatures up to 650 F.

PRESSURE

Elastomers developed and successfully tested to 500 F & 18,000 psi.

ARCTIC CONDITIONS

Low-temperature sealing of elastomers is critical especially when pressure effects are taken into consideration. Rubberatkins has a range of elastomers exhibiting excellent low temperature glass transition temperatures, determined via our DSC capabilities, some even down to -76 F.

SOUR GAS

Sour gas (H₂S) causes elastomer embrittlement through various chemical reactions thus compromising sealing performance. Rubberatkins has a proven case history of down-hole material performance in 40 % H₂S.

RAPID GAS DECOMPRESSION

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) can be responsible for rapid gas decompression (RGD), also known as explosive decompression (ED) it occurs via sudden depressurization of absorbed CO₂ within the elastomer matrix following a rapid drop in external pressure.
