Features and Benefits VULTREX API Modified Thread Compound is
VULTREX TOOL JOINT COMPOUND PROVIDES: recommended for use on the threads of round
casings, buttress casings, tubing connections and line
• Superior high pressure sealing against ingress of
piping. It can withstand high pressures (up to
drilling fluids and mud
10,000 psi) and can prevent leakage at temperatures
• Extended component life greater than 149ºC/300ºF.
• Meets API RP7A1-92 performance requirements It is not recommended for use on rotary shouldered
VULTREX API MODIFIED THREAD COMPOUND connections. Do not use VULTREX API Modified
PROVIDES: Thread Compound on oxygen lines or in oxygen
enriched atmospheres.
• Excellent thread protection during
make-up and disassembly VULTREX Tool Joint Compound is recommended for
use on the threads and shoulders of rotary shouldered
• Reduced component damage from galling and tool joints. It is also suitable for use on the threaded
seizure connections of most drilling string applications.
• Reduced torque requirements in breaking joints
