Recommended Uses

Absolute Copper is ideal in severe environments and resists corrossive gases such as hydrogen sulfide. It protects threads against galling and allows for ease of both makeup and breakout. High copper, high temperature compound for entire drill string, with storage protection. Absolute Copper can be used for all drilling applications (rotary-shouldered connections), including high temperature environments. It is also effective for use on slides, jacking systems, cantilever type rigs and assemblies.
