BESTOLIFE® 2020 is a non metallic thread compound.

APPLICATIONS
API Eight-Round and Buttress Connections.

TECHNICAL DATA
BESTOLIFE® 2020 is a non metallic thread compound developed to meet or exceed the performance objectives of API RP 5A3 when used on API eightround or buttress connections. Contains a high quality lubricating base grease formulated with H2S and oxidation inhibitors. The major solid components are a proprietary blend of nonmetallic materials that are inert to chemical attack, such as occurs in sour gas environments and with CO2 injection, and stable to temperatures in excess of 500° F. BESTOLIFE® 2020 also addresses one of the major concerns in pipe yards and threading operations today: rejects due to pitting and corrosion. In a 2,000 hour salt fog spray test, 2020 has demonstrated corrosion protection that exceeds the performance of some leading storage compounds. The results of lab tests indicate that BESTOLIFE® 2020 is not only an excellent “running” compound but can provide superior protection during long term storage.
