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.
