GGT-RSC High Temp has been developed as an economical answer to the
environmental restrictions and exposure concerns associated with the use of drilling
compounds that contain heavy metals, such as lead and zinc. It contains a high
percentage of amorphous and synthetic graphites, as well as other inert solids, in a high
temperature base grease. In addition to the galling and seizing protection provided by
the solids, GGT-RSC High Temp also contains a soluble extreme pressure package
that is surface active (adheres to metal surfaces) and helps to provide the load-carrying
capability required by the high-bearing stresses present in rotary-shouldered
connections. It applies easily in a wide range of temperatures and conditions, is
resistant to wash-out, and will not harden or bleed excessively in storage. It is
recommended for light-to-medium duty drilling. GGT-RSC HT has obtained registration
from NSF, National Sanitation Foundation.
