DESCRIPTION
BESTOLIFE® 3000® was the first totally non-metallic drilling compound, formulated to address environmental concerns as well as the costs of thread compounds with high percentages of heavy metals. The formulation contains a variety of amorphous and synthetic graphite-based materials that combine to make a gasket-like seal to prevent connection washout even under high internal fluid pressures. The use of premium quality, high temperature based grease enhances its performance.

APPLICATIONS
Non-metallic compound for rotary-shouldered connections. It is also effective for open gear jack-up legs.
