Offers the advantage of superior adhesion, improved extreme pressure and anti-wear properties, resistance to water wash-off, and superior rust and corrosion protection in the presence of invert or high-pH muds. The resistance also allows EXTREME to be used for up to 6 months connection storage. Its solids package is formulated to prevent excessive circumferential makeup by increasing the coefficient of friction under compressive forces.
For optimum performance on API drill string connections, EXTREME should be utilized with the thread recommended torque by multiplying the listed torque value by 1.15 or by contacting the drill pipe and connection manufacturer. Friction factors for EXTREME were developed using full scale API tool Joint connections.
