BESTOLIFE® 3000® Non-Metallic Thread Compound
The first totally non-metallic drilling compound, formulated to address environmental concerns and reduce the costs associated with heavy-metal thread compounds. Amorphous and synthetic graphite create a gasket-like seal that prevents connection washout under high internal fluid pressures, backed by a premium, high-temperature grease. For rotary-shouldered connections and open-gear jack-up legs.
