COPPER SUPREME SPECIAL BLEND® Non-Lead/Non-Zinc Thread Compound COLOR Dark copper PENETRATION 300 - 320 (ASTM D 217) WEIGHT/GALLON 10.2 pounds/gallon DROPPING POINT 500ºF/260ºC (typ) FLASH POINT 385ºF/196ºC (min) BRUSHABLE TO 15ºF/-9ºC SERVICE RATING 600ºF/316ºC TORQUE FACTOR 1.1 (per API RP 7A1)* CONTAINS Copper flake, synthetic and amorphous graphite, and other nonmetallic additives Copper Supreme Special Blend has been developed as an answer to the environmental restrictions and exposure concerns associated with the use of lead and zinc drill collar/tool joint thread compounds. It contains copper flake combined with a proprietary blend of amorphous and synthetic graphites, along with oxidation and H2S inhibitors, in a high temperature base grease. In addition to the galling and seizing protection provided by the solids, it also contains a soluble extreme pressure package that is surface active (adheres to metal surfaces) and helps to provide the load carrying capability required by the high bearing stresses present in rotary shouldered connections. Copper Supreme Special Blend has a torque correction factor of 1.1 (10% additional torque required) which will provide additional resistance to down-hole makeup as compared to lead or zinc compounds. It applies easily in a wide range of temperatures and conditions, is resistant to wash-out and will not harden or bleed excessively in storage. RECOMMENDED FOR all drilling applications (rotary-shouldered connections), including high temperature environments. Also effective for use on open gear jackup legs. *API RP 7A1: “Recommended Practice for Testing of Thread Compound for Rotary Shouldered Connections” NOTE: Due to operation and equipment variables, this value may require adjustment based on field experience. DO NOT USE ON OXYGEN LINES OR IN OXYGEN ENRICHED ATMOSPHERES.
