What is Duraband® NC?
Postalloy® Duraband® NC is a 100% crack-free hardband that provides maximum protection of the tool joint and casing, and workstring completion tubing. It’s microstructure consists of a hard, but tough tool steel matrix with a high volume of tightly packed micro-constituents. This combination ensures excellent wear resistance in open hole drilling as well as being casing friendly.
Duraband® NC is unique. It is *Fearnley Procter NS-1™ certified for new applications to tool joints and certified for re-application over itself and other hardband products as specified in the NS-1™ re-application approval certificates. It is the only product for maximum protection that is applied crack-free. Choose Duraband® NC for Maximum Reliability
