MOLYGRAPH TCZ-40 / TCZ-50 / TCZ-60

Description:
Zinc Base Thread Compound for Tool Joints & Drill Collars & Other Rotary Shouldered
Connections.
Benefits:
Molygraph TCZ-40 / TCZ-50 / TCZ-60 contains over 40%, 50% and 60% finely powdered
high purity zinc
This ensures a leak proof seal even in extreme pressures
The zinc compounds prevent galling and seizing and the need for excess Torque
application to achieve break-out
These do not build up on threads and protect against additional make up
Chosen additives help the compounds guard against corrosion and they are easily
brushable, resist water absorption and retain consistency over a wide range
temperature band.

Service Rating: (-) 12C [0F] to (+) 177C [350F]

Recommendation: For use on Tool joints, Drill collars and other Rotary Shouldered
connections
Compound conforms to API RP 7A1
