Borehole Stabilizing Dry Polymer
Description
EZ-MUD DP is a free-flowing, dry granular synthetic polymer containing partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/ polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer. EZ-MUD DP, a water-soluble polymer, disperses and dissolves in fresh water rapidly. When mixed with fresh water, EZ-MUD DP hydrates quickly and forms a clear, viscous fluid. With its high molecular weight and optimum charge density, EZ-MUD DP provides excellent borehole stability through a coating mechanism (encapsulation).
Applications/Functions
- Stabilize reactive clay and shale formations
- Keep trench excavation open during the construction
- Produce high viscosity solids-free slurry
- Enhances rheological properties of a low-solids drilling mud
- Enhance core recovery in continuous wireline coring operations
- Flocculate non-reactive solids in reserve pit at low concentrations
- Reduces torque and drag
- Disperses easily with minimal shear
- Efficient shale/clay stabilizer and viscosifier
- Imparts high degree of lubricity
- Compatible with other drilling fluid additives when added in proper sequence
- Non-fermenting
- No petroleum distillates involved
- Breaks down chemically with bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
- NSF/ANSI Standard 60 Certified
