Speciality lubricants for casing, tubing and drill pipe

Speciality lubricants for casing, tubing and drill pipe

Thread compound, commonly known as “pipe dope” has been used to join the threaded connections of tubing and casing tubes. These compounds provide the sealing properties to the pipe connections throughout a wide range of temperatures. Dopes are hydrocarbon resistant for the obvious reasons and provide lubrication to the connections during the thread engagement avoiding galling while maintaining the connection's mechanical integrity. Depending on specific application, its purpose is to seal, lubricate and protect the threaded connections from corrosion (oxidisation).

Klüber Lubrication offers a full range of compounds to address costly issues in the field such as galling, seizing and leaking.  All our thread compounds (excluding the storage compounds) contain a multi-stage tackifier package, which increases the compound's tackiness and allows product to be evenly distributed into all the cracks and crevasses on a pipe's thread profile. The multi-stage tackifier package ensures the thread compound sticks to the pipe and do not drip off resulting in waste.
