A custom formulation is a valve compound developed for one operator's specific demands. BTR VSI manufactures its own valve cleaners, lubricants and sealants in-house. That control lets us adjust a compound for your valve type, media and duty.

Custom formulations
We manufacture our compounds in-house and can formulate for your specific valves.
Product detail
Manufacturing in-house is what makes this possible
Our standard compounds are made in our own facility, not bought in.
The same team that makes them can adjust them on request.
Each request is assessed case by case against the valve and its service.
Brief us on the valve, the media and the duty
A useful brief names the valve type, size and the sealing problem.
- Valve
Valve type, size and condition, with any known service history. - Media
The fluids or gases the compound must resist in service. - Duty
Operating demands such as cycling frequency, temperature range and contamination levels.
Our guide to matching products by valve type shows how these details steer selection.
We formulate, then supply through the same channel
Once the brief is agreed, we develop the formulation and supply it directly.
The usual injection gates still apply before any compound goes into a valve. The valve needs sound fittings, a suitable design and service, and operational clearance.
Standard cleaners, lubricants and sealants remain available where they already fit the duty.
Where a valve suits a standard product, our valve sealants page covers the range.
