Rod Grease Xtra Tacky
high performance drill rod grease
DESCRIPTION
ROD GREASE XTRA TACKY is a specially formulated
tenacious barium-based grease recommended for use on
diamond drill rods to reduce vibration and friction between
the rod and casing or rock strata. ROD GREASE XTRA TACKY
has particular application in dry hole drilling, is thermally
stable and will perform in a variety of harsh conditions. ROD
GREASE XTRA TACKY has superior adhesion characteristics
designed to provide exceptional film strength when subjected
to extreme down hole pressures.
APPLICATIONS/FUNCTIONS
ROD GREASE XTRA TACKY is easily applied to the outside
surface of the drill pipe prior to inserting into the hole. Heat is
not required to soften the product before use.
ADVANTAGES
- Increases drilling efficiencies
- Adheres to the rod under virtually any condition
- Resistant to hard, saline water
- Thermally stable, extreme pressure resistance
- Can be applied to wet surfaces
- Reduces wear to the drill string
- Reduces rotational torque and vibration
- Improves productivity
- Protects metals surfaces
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
- Physical appearance: Light tan stringy
- Thickener type: Barium complex
- Thickener content: 20 – 23 %
- Base oil viscosity: SVS @ 100°F: 775 – 1000
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
Under normal drilling conditions:
| NQ Rods |
Initially apply 1 - 2kg of grease per 100m |
As hole greases up use less after each bit change.
Dry hole conditions:
| NQ Rods |
1 - 3kg of grease per 100m |
HQ Rods |
2 - 4kg of grease per 100m |
PQ Rods |
3 - 5kg of grease per 100m |
Hole condition will vary and grease should be used accordingly.
