MOLYSLIP ZN50 is a water-resistant, high-pressure assembly and thread compound based on highly refined, low-sulphur-content mineral oil thickened with a soap matrix and formulated to incorporate

50% metallic zinc. The product is specifically designed to prevent ‘cold welding’ of shoulder/collar joints and seizure of threaded connections on oilfield equipment such as Drill pipe/collars, Saver-sub to top drive connections, X-overs, production tooling, Kelly ball joint shoulder connections etc.

The product is formulated to meet the requirements of *API RP 7G and has been independently tested and proven to exceed the requirements of **API RP 5A3 / ISO 137678:2010.

The excellent lubricating properties of MOLYSLIP ZN50 reduces friction during assembly preventing galling, ‘pick-up’, seizure and wear and facilitates easier breakout for routine maintenance. The inclusion of anti-corrosion and antioxidant additives make the product 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, and effective over a wide temperature range.

*API RP 7G – “Recommended Practice for Drill Stem Design and Operating Limits”. **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”
