Dopeless® technology makes thread compounds obsolete. A dry multifunctional coating, Dopeless® technology is applied in a fully automatic process at Tenaris mills worldwide. The process guarantees that the exact amount of lubricant is applied to each connection. In standard E&P operations thread compounds are applied manually in the field with a brush.
