What is Tuffband® NC? Postalloy® Tuffband® NC is a high hardness hardband that may be used by itself for casing friendly hardband applications or used as a weld matrix with Tungsten Carbide (WC) when casing protection is not a factor. Why is Tuffband® NC better? Tuffband® NC is applied crack free and prevents spalling even under the most extreme drilling conditions. It is 100% rebuildable and is *Fearnley Procter NS-1TM Certified for applications on new pipe. It will protect your tool joints and since abrasive materials will not collect in cracks it also extends the life of your casing. Advantages of Tuffband NC include:
Longer life of tool joints and casing
Minimization of sour gas problems at critical sites
100% Rebuildable
Ultimate in wear resistance
Tool joints last up to three times longer
Lower maintenance costs
