For over 40 years, Postle Industries, Inc. has been designing alloys and procedures for many industries including mining, farming, agriculture, recycling and manufacturing to name a few. With the successful history of Postalloy® Hardfacing, it was only natural for Postle Industries to become involved in the complex wear of drill pipe, heavyweight, drill collars and casing/risers. Our R & D department has work tirelessly to address the wear and casing concerns of the drilling industry and as a result Tuffband NC was introduced. As drilling increased throughout the world, a need for a better product became apparent due to the severe conditions encountered in the oil and gas fields. Postle addressed this situation with Duraband NC which was designed specifically for these severe wear applications. Following that we developed tool joint build-up wires and a non-magnetic hardbanding. As drilling continues to grow and drilling demands change, Postle Industries will be there to support, develop and deliver quality hardbanding products. Your drill pipe deserves the best…it deserves Duraband NC and Tuffband NC!
