Bestolife 72733 exceeds the performance requirements and objectives outlined in API
RP 5A3*, obsolete API BUL 5A2, and conforms to ISO 13678. This superior thread
compound protects connections against galling during make-up and break-out,
prevents leakage at temperatures in excess of 300ºF, and withstands pressure to
10,000 psi.
Bestolife 72733 resists water absorption, disintegration and volume changes, and will
not harden, dry out, evaporate or oxidize. It contains special corrosion inhibitors to
resist pitting and discoloration of threaded surfaces during field use and storage.

Pipe”; Second Edition, July 2003
DO NOT USE ON OXYGEN LINES OR IN OXYGEN ENRICHED ATMOSPHERES.
