API-Modified™
API-Modified™High Pressure Thread Compound
A high-pressure thread compound that conforms to or exceeds the requirements of API RP5A3 (former API BUL 5A2) and ISO 13678 Annex A. API-Modified contains rust and oxidation inhibitors blended with Jet-Lubes base grease compounded from custom-refined, low-sulfur oil to ensure brushability over a wide temperature range. It tenaciously adheres to all surfaces, resists water washout, and prevents rust and corrosion. API-Modified reduces friction in the makeup of casing and tubing, preventing galling and wear. Maximum thread engagement is ensured, providing optimum leak resistance. API-Modified contains inhibitors that provide maximum protection against rust and corrosion of threaded surfaces. Its conductivity reduces the possibility of electrolytic corrosion by preventing the formation of galvanic cells in the presence of salt water and other corrosive fluids. Tubing connections ideal - buttress.
