🔩 The Smart Way to Plate OCTG Accessories?

As oilfield exploration evolves, so do the tools—and so should the plating methods we use to protect them.

Gone are the days when every OCTG component fit neatly into a plating tank. Today’s premium threads, custom connectors, and complex accessories demand a more adaptable, targeted, and field-ready solution.

That’s where Brush Plating steps in—not just as an alternative, but as a forward-thinking approach for anti-galling copper plating on OCTG connections and accessories.

🌐 Complexity is the New Normal

Modern exploration tools aren't always made for traditional tank plating lines.

Components like:

• Nipple adapters
• Flow couplings
• Mandrels & hangers
• Crossovers and pup joints

…often come in unique geometries, odd sizes, or tight deadlines. These components may only require partial plating on sealing threads or contact flanks, not a full-body dip.

Immersion plating? That means:

• Expensive and time-consuming masking
• Full-tank prep for small jobs
• Waste of chemicals and water
• Potential delays for minor plating needs

Brush Plating? It means efficiency, speed, and precision.

🔧 Plating with Purpose: The Power of Selectivity

With Brush Plating, we don't treat the entire part—we treat the part that matters.

Using a portable power supply, surface preparation tools, and high-purity copper solution, we can apply localized, high-integrity plating exactly where it’s needed:

• Load flanks of threaded connections
• Sealing shoulders
• Critical contact zones on accessories

This method eliminates unnecessary steps, reduces masking, and allows for quick turnaround times—especially useful when you're dealing with:

• Low-volume production
• Urgent field deployment
• Tool reconditioning between runs

⏱ Time is Money—And Brush Plating Saves Both

Here’s what your operations stand to gain:

• ✅ Rapid deployment: No waiting for tank queues
• ✅ Faster lead times for urgent parts
• ✅ Economical for small batches
• ✅ On-site application possible, even at remote workshops or yards
• ✅ No heat, no distortion—safe for high-precision threads

This is not just a plating method. It’s a field-tested, OEM-approved, operations-optimized solution.

✅ Trusted Across the Supply Chain

Our proprietary Brush Plating process is already qualified by major thread licensors and OCTG manufacturers, including:

• VAM
• Tenaris
• JFE
• VAGT
• Hunting Energy Services

We’re also trusted by threading shops, repair facilities, and OCTG accessorial tool manufacturers around the globe.

🎯 Final Word

If you're still relying solely on tank plating for every OCTG accessory, it's time to rethink your plating strategy.

Brush Plating is not only faster and more economical—it’s built for the modern oilfield.
