MOLYSLIP GC10 is a high-performance, metal-free free production thread compound that can replace API Modified for casing, tubing and line pipe applications. The product is based on highly refined low sulphur, low pour point mineral oil thickened with a soap matrix.

The product contains a high percentage of graphite and other non-metallic solid lubricants coupled with high levels of corrosion inhibitors, anti-oxidants and anti-wear additives that make it particularly suitable for use under the most aggressive conditions in corrosive wet/humid, dirty or chemical environments where a high degree of water washout resistance is required.

MOLYSLIP GC10 has excellent lubricating and anti-wear properties to reduce friction during assembly preventing ‘pick-up’, galling and seizure facilitating easier breakout for routine maintenance. The product is formulated to meet and exceed the requirements of *API RP 5A3 / ISO 137678:2010.

MOLYSLIP GC10 is effective over a wide temperature range and is specifically designed to prevent seizure of threaded connections on oilfield equipment such as casings and tubing etc. The specially formulated blend of additives provides enhanced adhesion to cold/wet tooling and a high resistance to wash off whilst being thermally stable making it suitable for use in applications where high temperatures are encountered.

*API RP 5A3/ISO13678:2010 – “Petroleum and natural gas industries-evaluation and testing of thread compounds for use
with casing, tubing, line pipe and drill stem elements”.
