Bestolife API Modified 304 Lead Based Production Compound

OIL & GAS PRODUCTION COMPOUND - LEAD BASED

BESTOLIFE API Modified 304 is a high temperature, high-pressure thread compound for casing, tubing, and line pipe.

APPLICATIONS

High-pressure thread compound for casing, tubing, and line pipe.

TECHNICAL DATA

BESTOLIFE API Modified 304 exceeds the performance requirements and objectives outlined in API RP 5A3*. This superior thread compound protects connections against galling during makeup and breakout, prevents leakage at temperatures in excess of 300° F, and withstands pressure to 10,000 psi. BESTOLIFE API Modified 304 resists water absorption, disintegration and volume changes, and will not harden, dry out, evaporate or oxidize. It contains H2S, oxidation and corrosion inhibitors to resist pitting and discoloration of threaded surfaces during field use and storage.
