Jet-Lube 16923 NCS-30 Nonconductive Oilfield Thread Compound 11 lb Pail

Jet-Lube NCS-30 is a premium nonmetallic, nonconductive thread compound engineered for demanding oilfield drilling applications. Formulated with carbon-based fibers, extreme pressure additives, and anti-wear agents blended into a high-temperature calcium complex base grease, NCS-30 delivers reliable protection and controlled make-up torque on critical drill string connections. This 11 lb (4.99 kg) pail provides a practical supply for field and rig operations.

Key Features:

• Nonmetallic, nonconductive formula — contains no metals, making it safe for MWD (Measurement While Drilling) applications
• Carbon-based fibers and extreme pressure additives provide protection against seizing and galling on high-chrome and nickel alloys
• High-temp calcium complex base grease offers superior adhesion to wet steel surfaces with excellent resistance to water wash-off and most drilling muds, including invert and high-pH muds
• Controlled friction performance — formulated to prevent excessive circumferential makeup by increasing the coefficient of friction under compressive forces; friction factor increases as stress rises above 50% of yield, limiting downhole makeup
• 1.15 friction/nut-factor — designed to utilize API RP7G make-up torque charts multiplied by its 1.15 friction factor on API connections
• Full hydraulic joint efficiency maintained — allows joint shoulder faces to mate completely without standoff or deformation
• Broad connection compatibility — optimized for all rotary-shouldered connections including Tool Joints and Drill Collars; also suitable for Double-Shouldered, Wedge Thread™, and other mechanical seal designs
• Wide service temperature range — rated -20°F to 500°F (-29°C to 260°C) for oilfield, mining, and construction drilling; -65°F to 2,600°F (-54°C to 1,427°C) for industrial anti-seize applications
• Certifications: NSF H2 Registered; UK CEFAS Group E; conforms to API RP7G torque charts

Base Materials: Calcium Complex / Petroleum
Friction / Nut-Factor: 1.15 (drill strings, relative to API RP7G)
Container Size: 11 lb (4.99 kg) Pail
