Borehole Stabilizing Dry Polymer
Data Sheet:
EZ-MUD DP borehole stabilizing dry synthetic polymer contains high molecular weight partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer. EZ-MUD DP water-soluble polymer, when mixed with fresh water, hydrates quickly and forms a clear, viscous fluid. EZ-MUD DP dry polymer provides excellent borehole stability through a coating mechanism (encapsulation).
Applications and Functions
- Stabilize reactive clay and shale formations
- Keep trench excavation open during the construction
- Produce high viscosity solids-free slurry
- Enhance rheological properties of a low-solids drilling mud
- Enhance core recovery in continous wireline coring operations
- Flocculate non-reactive solids in reserve pit at low concentrations
- Reduce torque and drag
Advantages
- NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
- Can disperse easily with minimal shear
- Efficient shale/clay stabilizer and viscosifier
- Helps impart 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)
