Jet-Lube, Inc.
SEAL-GUARD™ ECF and NCS-30™ ECF
Jet-Lube, Inc.’s patented ECF technology was developed to comply with the stringent North Sea environmental guidelines for offshore chemicals while maintaining the required performance standards. Jet-Lube’s SEAL-GUARD™ ECF thread compound for premium casing and tubing connections and NCS-30™ ECF thread compound for drill string connections meet Norway’s “Yellow” standards and the United Kingdom’s “E” classification. The classifications are a result of the OSPAR Commission’s Harmonized Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF), whose directives require pipe compounds to be biodegradable, bioaccumulation-potential-free, and nontoxic. These are the most stringent thread compound requirements to date and required a total reformulation of the pipe compounds to meet both the performance and environmental requirements.
Both ECF compounds are entirely nonmetallic, yet provide excellent protection against seizing and galling. They are temperature rated for applications -65ºF (-54ºC) to 500ºF (260ºC) and their nonconductive formulas are ideal for high-pH mud (9-10%) applications. SEAL-GUARD™ ECF, with frictional properties similar to API Modified, has been specifically formulated for use on premium connections. NCS-30™ ECF was formulated for use on rotary shouldered connections, high-torque, and high-chrome or nickel alloys.
