Joint compound on iron pipe threads is just there to lubricate the steel-to-steel interference interface so the threads don't pull pieces out of each other as they grind together and distort, making the steel - to - steel seal. Once the pipes are tight the lubricant serves no other purpose. So any good pipe joint compound will work.
