Drilltec’s ACT thread protector is manufactured to meet API Annex F 5CTA 11th Edition requirements. The ACT protectors are made of Drilltec’s patented composite resin blend PROCADD, which provides an unmatched combination of lightweight, strength and durability. ACT offers protection for high-alloy tubular products that typically would be susceptible to bi-metal corrosion.
- Ranges: 5½” – 9⅝”

STP protectors are designed to meet customer requirements for both API compliant and premium connections. The protectors are produced with Drilltec’s patented PROCADD composite material to precisely fit tubular connections and provide resistance to inclement conditions during storage and transportation of pipe. STP products meet the API requirements in length, offering superior protection versus competitive thread protection products. API Annex F 5CTA 11th Edition compliant.
- Ranges: 2″ – 8⅝”

Drilltec’s ESP-S line of protectors is made from high-density polyethylene with Procadd composite material in conjunction with a heavy-duty steel shell which provides an exceptional durability while still offering corrosion protection. This product covers the full length of the pipe thread, preventing hook damage to both the pin and box ends. ESP-S also includes Drilltec’s patented Roll-Over Bumper to protect the leading edge of the pin or box, which in the case of severe impact would damage the connection. API Annex F 5CTA 11th Edition compliant.
- Ranges: 5½” – 20”

The SSP is Drilltec’s economical alternative for protecting API connections. SSP is also manufactured with high-density polyethylene with PROCADD composite material for high performance. SSP is manufactured as either closed end non-liftable or as closed end liftable for tubing and casing. API Annex F 5CTA 11th Edition compliant.
- Ranges: CENL 2⅜” – 3½”, CEL 4½” – 9⅝”

Drilltec’s TJP thread protectors provide reliable and sustainable protection for drill pipe and drill collars with high-impact resistance that exceeds all API performance standards. These products offer complete thread engagement to prevent the protector from stripping or vibrating off the pipe. The TJP product line provides maximum protection for tool joint threads and seals that are sensitive to bi-metal corrosion by utilizing Drilltec’s PROCADD composite material. The lightweight design also reduces overall freight costs without compromising strength or durability.
- Ranges: 2⅜” – 7⅝”

Drilltec’s LPP products are specifically manufactured with Procadd composite material and designed with substantially more surface area to provide additional protection against exposure to impact, corrosion and UV elements associated with line pipe. The line pipe protector is equipped with a recessed, closed-end design to keep the inside of the pipe dry and clean while supporting lifting capabilities by lifting hooks. The LPP products also have protection via a heavy-duty, internal bumper that protects bevel ends.
- Ranges: 3½” – 40”
