Core-Lube

CORE BARREL LUBRICANT

CORE-LUBE natural, linseed-based soft soap is used as a core barrel lubricant on diamond core drills.

• Helps improve core recovery
• Helps extend length of core run in broken ground
• Can lengthen useable life of downhole wireline components

 

The use of CORE-LUBE lubricant can promote the following:

• Easy sliding of the core into the inner tube
• Lubrication of the core lifter
• Minimized wear on the inner tube
• Formulation of a non-polluting water-based solution for cleaning inner tube components and rig equipment

 

As aid in core recovery

• A handful or saturated swab of CORE-LUBE lubricant may be smeared inside the bottom of the inner tube before it is inserted into the drill rods. Also, a liberal amount may be applied to the core lifter parts.

As a cleaning solution for drill rig components

• Mix one quart of CORE-LUBE lubricant with 50 gallons of water or 5 liters of CORE-LUBE lubricant per m³ of water.

 

CORE-LUBE core barrel lubricant is packaged in 25-lb (11.4 kg) resealable plastic pails with wire bail handles.
