JetLube 550 Extreme is a low-E nonmetallic anti-seize with molybdenum disulfide and synthetic graphite in a calcium sulfonate base. Learn how it prevents seizure, heat freeze, and corrosion from -265°F to 2400°F.
JetLube JET-RED is a lithium complex EP grease rated to 500°F dropping point, with 500 kgf weld point and DN speeds to 200,000. Learn how its four grades cover oil drilling, mining, and cold-weather applications.
JetLube KOPR-KOTE is a lead-free copper-based drill collar and tool joint compound with a 1.15 friction factor rated from 0°F to 450°F. Learn how it prevents downhole makeup and thread seizure.
JetLube KOPR-KOTE anti-seize uses micro-size copper flakes and graphite in a water-resistant grease to prevent thread seizure, corrosion, and galling across a -65°F to 1800°F service range.
JetLube KOPR-KOTE ARCTIC is a pumpable, unleaded drill collar and tool joint compound with a 1.15 friction factor that prevents downhole makeup in extreme drilling conditions. Service range: -65°F to 300°F.
Air Sentry desiccant breathers set the contamination control standard in 1997. Learn how Z, D, X, and GUARDIAN series protect gearboxes, hydraulic reservoirs, and storage tanks from moisture and particulate.
In this episode we break down the Jet-Lube V-2 Multi-Purpose Thread Sealant — a soft-setting, nonpetroleum-based sealant for threaded connections carrying potable water, liquids, and gases. V-2 contains PTFE and natural fillers for tighter joint make-up, allows immediate pressurization, and stays brushable down to 0°F with a service rating of -70°F to 500°F. The headline is what V-2 leaves out: no lead and no metals — making it NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water, compliant with California AB1953 and Vermont Act 193, NSF P-1 registered for federally inspected meat and poultry plants, and a match for military spec TT-S-1732, the Uniform Plumbing Code (IAPMO), and British Standard 6920. Where V-2 fits in the line: step up to V-2 Plus for heavier service; ABS and CPVC threads call for TFW instead; the heavier-bodied TF-15 handles rougher pipe-thread duty. V-2 is approved for stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, iron, polyethylene, fiberglass, and PVC (not ABS or CPVC). Per its UL of Canada listing the maximum sealing pressures on pipe up to 3½ inch are, for example, 1,500 psi natural gas and 175 psi water (with diesel/petroleum at 145 psi and propane/butane at 250 psi; the broader service rating is 10,000 psi liquids / 2,000 psi gases). Key takeaways: how lead-free chemistry meets potable-water code, why immediate pressurization saves crew time, and how to match the right Jet-Lube sealant to the substrate and pressure.
Moisture contamination does not arrive with a warning. Every time a hydraulic reservoir breathes during a pump stroke, every time a gearbox cools after a shift cycle, humid ambient air pulls straight through an unprotected vent and deposits water directly into the lubricant. That water combines with particulate to form the abrasive slurry responsible for … Read more
Stop me if this sounds familiar: Your maintenance techs are wrestling with a 50-pound sledge and a pin punch—sweating, cursing, trying to drive out a stubborn pin on a $3M excavator. Or maybe your guys are perched on a crane, iron flying everywhere, one bad strike away from shattered knuckles—one missed blow from a costly … Read more
Des-Case Desiccant Breathers: The Complete Guide to Protecting Your Equipment from Moisture Contamination Here’s something that should make you nervous: Right now, as you’re reading this, moisture is seeping into your gearboxes. Your hydraulic systems. Your storage tanks. Every time the temperature changes—and it changes constantly throughout a 24-hour cycle—your equipment “breathes.” It pulls in … Read more
