NCS-30® ECF™ Nonmetallic Thread Compound - Environmental Formula
NCS-30 ECF is a premium quality, non-metallic compound containing chemically inert fibers, and extreme pressure and anti-wear additives. These are blended into Jet-Lube's biodegradable base grease, which gives a wide temperature range, superior adhesion to wet steel surfaces, resistance to water wash off and the ability to withstand invert and high-pH muds. Ideal tubing connections - rotary shouldered, double shouldered and premium.
FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL STANDPOINT, NCS-30 ECF is biodegradable, bioaccumulation potential-free and non-toxic to all kinds of life forms tested. This
compound has the distinction of being the first compound to achieve a “Yellow” HOCNF rating in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea making it permissible
in sensitive drilling areas such as the Barents Sea. It also has the distinction of being the first drilling compound to achieve a substitution warning-free HOCNF rating as well as an “E” classification in the UK sector, simplifying the completion of PON15B
applications.
___________________________
Designed for optimum performance on all Rotary-Shouldered connections such as Tool Joints and Drill Collars. It can also be used on premium/proprietary thread designs such as Double-Shouldered, Wedge Thread™*, and other types of mechanical seal designs. It may also be used on certain non-interference tubing thread designs when properly torque compensated.
