- Applications
- Water-Borne Drilling Fluids
Special Features and Benefits -
- Meets industry expected performance
- Economical
- Does not require pH adjustments to function
- Quickly reduces high rheological values due to excess drill solids
- Yield Point and gel strengths can be reduced without dilution
- Can reduce fluid loss and improve filter cake quality
- Minimized NPT (non-productive time) spent conditioning the drilling fluid
Recommended Use - All water-based muds that will be subjected to temperatures under 175 °C.
Recommended Levels - 0.70-1.40 kg/m3 additions should be adequate for most formulations and drilling conditions.
