Z-50 Pipe Dope is an anti-seize compound that provides maximum protection of drill rod threads. It is ideal for drill rods and bolts where high torque or loading may cause seizure or binding of the threads.

Its high percentage of solid type lubricants and anti-wear agents provide extreme pressure properties and anti-seize performance to prevent wear and galling. This product is resistant to water washout, rust and corrosion.

Improving Penetrations Rates

Mineral Exploration

Improving your rate of penetration will have a direct impact on profitability as it will increase productivity and lead to recuperating more core. How to achieve better penetration is a challenge for many drillers but there are several methods that will help.

Ground Abrasiveness

Mineral Exploration

Abrasiveness is a ground condition that can cause headaches among many drillers. It can be difficult to drill through when present in any hardness of ground. Abrasive ground and rock can wear down drill bits quickly and in the case of hard abrasive ground, iron ore poses a particular problem and is often referred to as a bit cemetery.

Extending Bit Life

Mineral Exploration

Getting the longest life possible for your core matrix is a key consideration if you want to run a productive and profitable drilling operation. Changing a drill bit takes time especially the farther down the hole it is, and the time spent replacing a bit is not productive.
