Val-Tex, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KMG, is a global provider of high-quality, cost-effective valve lubricants and industrial sealants serving the oil and gas storage, pipeline, and gas distribution markets. Founded in 1962 as a valve repair and modification shop, Val-Tex transitioned in 1974 to focus exclusively on valve maintenance products, le... veraging decades of field experience to become a reliable partner to major valve manufacturers worldwide. The company manufactures and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of specialty lubricants, sealants, lubrication equipment, and related fittings designed to optimize valve operation, prevent costly unscheduled downtime, and reduce fugitive emissions while enhancing safety across customer facilities and pipelines. Val-Tex's innovative product solutions have become industry standards, including its Premium lube sealants for high-pressure, severe-service fracking and flowback operations; the Val-Tex 972 and 80-HM formulations are the most recommended and widely used products globally for these demanding applications. In response to critical industry events, Val-Tex developed the 1502 product to address low-pressure leakage in metal-seated fracking plug valves, incorporating enhanced API testing standards to support recovery and safety initiatives. Following the San Bruno incident, Val-Tex introduced GGS technology to provide superior protection for worm gear bearings and associated components, helping customers implement preventative valve maintenance standards and procedures. Through ongoing collaboration with valve manufacturing partners, Val-Tex provides training on field maintenance best practices, solutions to common operational challenges, and engineered products that overcome industry pitfalls. This combination of specialized expertise, proven product performance, and commitment to safety and reliability positions Val-Tex as a trusted partner for valve maintenance across global energy infrastructure.Read More
