Engineered to Exacting Specifications
Our Valve Lubricants, Sealants, Packings and Cleaners are manufactured to the highest standards with the best available materials. When using DUALCO products, you are partnering with one of the world’s premium lubrication equipment manufacturers. Our value to customers is underscored by in-depth laboratory testing. For decades, successful use is well documented in a broad group of industries.
Synthetics
DUALCO predominantly uses synthetic oil-based materials instead of vegetable oil-based products. Products are manufactured utilizing a reaction blending process, and are not simply “cold blended.”
Custom Blending
Contact Us to discuss your needs for specific applications. We will custom blend and manufacture special formulations to suit specific customer requirements.
Storage and Shelf Life
DUALCO products are manufactured with longevity in-mind for extended shelf life. When these products are stored inside under non-extreme conditions and temperatures, the shelf life is expected to be up to three years. The stored Lube Products’ integrity will remain viable in a like-new condition.
• For Industrial Use Only •
Valve Lube Sealants are tested to assure maximum valve performance, as these Features are stressed:
• Support and maintain proper valve operating torque
• Resistance to harmful solvents
• Water insolubility
• Extreme temperature resistance
• Shear stress boundaries
• Chemical degradation limits
• Lubricity
• Seal-ability
Comprehensive control throughout the manufacturing process.
• Complete laboratory testing is conducted to assure all products are non-hazardous, non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally safe.
• Traceability is maintained for a minimum of one year on every product batch. Traceability for additional years can be offered upon request.
• Technical assistance, expertise, and quality assurance reports are available upon request.
• Custom, formulated products, made to customer specifications.
When selecting a valve lube sealant, valve cleaner, or a valve stem packing, the material in the “line” being controlled by the valve to be serviced, is the primary consideration, closely followed by temperature and pressure considerations. Any of several products may be adequate for a particular application. But considerations, such as the need for extra lubricity, seal-ability, the material’s ability to “plate out” (cover and protect) metal surfaces, the presence of CO₂ , H₂S , water and contaminates such as sand, rust, dust, old hardened sealants and welding slag, are also extremely important considerations.
Material comparisons should be based upon formula, physical properties, and application (functional similarities). Since the proprietary formulas of other companies’ materials are not available, the only comparisons that can legitimately be made have to be based on application and, to an extent, physical properties. Also, experience has taught that even basing a decision on the lube sealant currently in use may not be the best approach. All too often, the lube sealant or packing from another company currently in use, is inadequate or inappropriate for the application intended.
Valve Lube Sealants are available in at least two common forms:
• STICK form is generally used when seal-ability is the most importantrequirement by, but not limited to Plug Valves. “J”, “K”, and “S5” Sticks are packaged in biodegradable cellophane. Other sizes are packaged in plastic containers.
• BULK form is generally used when lubricity is the most important requirement by, but not limited to Gate and Ball Valves. Less viscous, bulk material easily flows through small lubrication ports and confined lubricant channels, providing critical lubrication to these hard-to-reach valve parts. See Ordering Information for bulk packaging.
Both Stick and Bulk forms provide:
• Lubricity
• Seal-ability
• Viscosity variance
• Compatibility with all Valve Maintenance equipment.
Both Stick and Bulk forms are available in Industry standard stick and bulk packaging. See ordering Information.
• Synthetic base oils, thickeners and additives are chemically reacted to form premium products.
• Valve Lube Sealants are an integral part of every lubricated Plug valve and other lubricated valve styles.
• When the proper Valve Lube Sealant is used, the chemical attacks and corrosive characteristics of pipeline flow material is resisted.
• A flexible renewable seal around the valve port is formed when the proper Valve Lube Sealant is used.
Quality is Key to:
• Secure an absolutely pressure tight seal.
• Form a seal and provide a lubricating film between the valve’s internal sealing surfaces.
• Depending on the service application, a valve seal can be maintained over a range of temperatures and pressure with the correct lube sealant.
• Lubricate and prevent unwanted metal-to-metal contact and galling of valve sealing surfaces.
• In lubricated valves, sealant provides a flexible and renewable seat. For this reason, the sealant must not only have correct plasticity, but also resistance to pipeline fluids such as harmful solvents and chemicals.
• Plug Valve “Jacking” occurs when the pressurized Lube Sealant supplies the hydraulic means for lifting the plug from its tapered seat.
• Corrosion resistance and corrosion prevention of internal valve parts is enhanced.
Valve Cleaners
DUALCO Arctic Valve Cleaner (AVC)
is a unique compound will lubricate valves while emulsifying a variety of organic and organometallic compounds common to pipeline operations. AVC is a combination valve cleaner and lubricant, and can be used as both. When used regularly, this material will prevent additional build-up of pipeline contaminants. AVC is an excellent choice, when working in true arctic, extreme cold weather environments. AVC pumps easily, and is needed when lubricated valves are frozen and extremely difficult to operate. AVC is not recommended for long-term CO₂ service.
DO NOT use this material in oxygen service. For Industrial use only.
DUALCO Dispersing Valve Cleaner (DVC)
In many valves there is residual gum, lacquer deposits, corrosion deposits, and residual solids, as well as old hardened sealants that are very resistant to standard valve cleaners. DVC is engineered to clean out and free up lubricated valves that are extremely difficult to operate or completely inoperative. Upon freeing the valve, DVC exits the valve and safely disperses when it enters the product stream, thus reducing fouling and corrosive effects of line contaminates to downstream assets.
