PE-Energy Industrial Supply – Powering Industry Excellence

JetLube KOPR EXT FF 1.0 is the purpose-built 1.0 friction factor tool joint copper compound that solves a specific, costly field problem: surface tong or iron roughneck units that cannot deliver the torque needed to fully make up premium drill collar connections — HI-TORQUE (HT), eXtreme Torque (XT), XT-M, and Delta series — leaving your string exposed to downhole makeup, backoff, and catastrophic connection failure. If that risk lives on your rig, spec this compound. Full product details at https://www.pe-energy.com/product/11415l-jet-lube-extreme-tool-joint-and-drill-collar-compound-5-gal-lined/ Friction-factor mechanics that stop downhole makeup cold. KOPR EXT FF 1.0 is formulated as a direct modification of Jet-Lube Extreme with a deliberately lower coefficient of friction at normal stress levels. The critical design behavior: above 50% of yield stress, the friction factor increases, physically limiting further downhole makeup. Shoulder faces mate completely — no standoff, no deformation — and full hydraulic joint efficiency is preserved through the connection's service life. The 1.0 friction factor rating is referenced directly to API RP 5A3 Annex I, so it maps cleanly to make-up torque values on premium connection specification sheets. Before you apply it, confirm the manufacturer's sheet lists 1.0 as the required friction factor and use that sheet's torque value. Extreme-pressure solids package eliminates galling under compressive load. The solids formulation is engineered to prevent wear and thread galling under high compressive forces, with EP additives providing a secondary barrier against seizing at the thread interface. The 4-Ball Weld Point (ASTM D-2596) is 620 kgf — a concrete indicator of load-carrying capacity. NLGI Grade 1 consistency (penetration 310–330 @ 77°F per ASTM D-217) keeps the compound brushable and stable from 0°F (−18°C) to 450°F (232°C), covering cold northern field startups through deep, high-temperature downhole environments without reformulation or pre-heating. Invert mud and high-pH environments don't wash it off. KOPR EXT FF 1.0 is built on a complex soap thickener with a petroleum fluid base — Dropping Point (ASTM D-2265) of 450°F (232°C), Flash Point (ASTM D-92) greater than 430°F (221°C), Specific Gravity 1.21, Density 10.10 lb/gal, and Oil Separation (ASTM D-6184) under 3.0%. The compound sticks to wet joints on a rig floor exposed to invert or high-pH mud systems, resists water wash-off, and maintains consistent thread coverage regardless of weather or mud contamination. Copper Strip Corrosion (ASTM D-4048) rates 1A typical, and the formulation carries zero lead, zero zinc — meeting environmental and regulatory requirements on modern drilling programs. Connection storage life is rated up to 6 months, so you can pre-dope and inventory large drill string lots without compound degradation. API RP 5A3 conformance for rotary shouldered connections — applied correctly. Multiply the manufacturer's recommended torque value by 1.0, or contact the drill pipe and connection manufacturer for application-specific guidance. For extreme-service scenarios, IADC guidelines allow make-up torques up to 70% of connection torsional yield — provided reduced tensile capacity is not a constraint. Because pipe size, thread geometry, and mud contamination all influence the actual friction factor achieved in the field, always combine the rated 1.0 value with prior field experience and direct manufacturer consultation before adjusting torque.

JetLube EASY-CLEAN® Liquid alkaline cleaner and degreaser concentrate is the episode focus — and if your crew is fighting caked carbon, grease, and crude oil on frac iron, drill rigs, or construction iron, this is the product conversation your next procurement cycle needs. EASY-CLEAN Liquid is formulated at pH 14 with a specific gravity of 1.07 and a viscosity of 4.5 cPs. That aggressive alkalinity, paired with advanced emulsifying technology, is what drives it through heavy hydrocarbon deposits where lighter cleaners stall out. Zero VOC content (0 g/L), no fluorocarbons, no SARA Title III Section 313 Part 372 listed ingredients, no phosphates, no chlorides — this is your answer when the environmental compliance team starts asking questions about solvent-based degreasers on-site. Flash point: none to 212°F (ASTM D93 PMCC Closed Cup). Auto ignition point: none to 500°F. Noncombustible, nonflammable, non-fuming. Order the 5-gallon jug and see full product specs here: https://www.pe-energy.com/product/30035-jet-lube-easy-clean-liquid-alkaline-cleaner-and-degreaser-concentrate-5-gal-jug/ The dilution chart is where procurement managers and field supervisors get their real ROI. For drilling and construction equipment with the heaviest buildup, run a 1:10 E-C Liquid to water ratio — the most concentrated recommended mix, purpose-built for frac and rig wash service. Step down to 1:50 for cold-water high-pressure sprayers at 150–300 psi, 1:100 for hot water at that same pressure range or cold water at 500–800 psi, and stretch to 1:200 for 500–800 psi hot-water pressure washing — maximum dilution, still effective. For general fuel oil truck bodies and fleet cleaning, 1:40 is the call. One concentrate SKU covers your entire wash program from the shop floor to the field pad. Application method flexibility is a genuine operational advantage. EASY-CLEAN Liquid supports pressure washing, steam cleaning, ultrasound cleaning, parts degreasing, and brush or spray application followed by water rinse or wipe-down. That means one product handles controlled shop degreasing of components and full rig wash in the field — fewer SKUs on the shelf, fewer vendor relationships to manage, simpler RFPs. The product is water-soluble and biodegradable, and it dilutes with ordinary tap water. Salt water works in a pinch but reduces cleaning effectiveness, so plan your water source accordingly. One compatibility flag to brief your maintenance team on: concentrated EASY-CLEAN Liquid is corrosive to aluminum and its alloys. Confirm substrate compatibility before running this on any aluminum-bearing equipment or components. Outside that carve-out, the target market list is broad — Oilfield Equipment, Construction, Metal Fabrication, Industrial, Marine, and Utilities. JetLube is an ISO 9001 registered manufacturer. Browse the full JetLube brand catalog and wholesale pricing at https://www.pe-energy.com/brand/jet-lube/ Wholesale orders scale from a single 5-gallon jug to full pallet quantities for fleet rollout. Whether you're speccing EASY-CLEAN Liquid into a standing maintenance contract or sourcing a trial quantity to validate performance on your rig wash skid, PE Energy has the inventory and the product knowledge to support your team. Freezing point is 28°F — factor that into cold-weather storage planning for field locations.
