Torque Down
Friction reducer — reduces torque and drag on drill string and tooling.
Torque Down is a lubricant additive that reduces friction between the drill string and bore wall, lowering torque and drag. It forms a thin lubricating film on metal surfaces and bore walls, allowing smoother rotation and pullback.
Essential for long HDD shots, large-diameter bores, and any application where friction threatens to exceed rig capacity. Compatible with both bentonite and polymer fluid systems.
