The Z-50™ Drill Collar & Tool Joint Compound provides maximum protection for rotary shouldered connections used in drilling operations. Formulated with 50% prime grade metallic zinc, this compound effectively prevents galling and wear under high-stress conditions. It solves the critical problem of thread failure and premature equipment breakdown in challenging downhole environments.
- Durability is increased as the compound contains special additives to reduce the plating and buildup of metallic zinc commonly seen with other zinc compounds.
- The brushable formula remains consistent over a wide temperature range, allowing for efficient and reliable application across various jobsite conditions.
- Consistent rig floor makeup is ensured, which promotes safer operations and prevents excessive, further downhole makeup that can compromise drilling string integrity.
This compound is best suited for drilling contractors, oil and gas field operators, and maintenance crews focused on maximizing the lifespan and performance of drill collars and tool joints.
- Conforms with API RP 5A3 for use with rotary shouldered connections.
- Operating temperature range is 0°F to 300°F (-18°C to 150°C).
