The use of biodegradable grease bases has been researched as well, but the problem is that this type of grease is not stable at high temperatures, and
therefore not applicable in deep wells. As a result of this study, four hybrid compound compounds are considered to be acceptable and their introduction
is recommended. These are:
Mercasol 633SR Multimake White;
Kendex Enviro Seal;
Bestolife copperfree PTC;
Shell Franaise SF 3646.
Bestolife 2000 5% copper and Cats Paw Black 712 S are also acceptable
Recommended thread compounds
It should be noted that a storage compound is not to be used as running compound, and that a running compound is not to be used as a storage
compound. Mistakes are still occurring. The amount of compound to be applied is a function of connection sealing mechanism and geometry. The actual
value should be acquired from the connection manufacturer.
