GLO CLAY 1000 – ATTAPULGITE CLAY/ SALT WATER CLAY
Description
Attapulgite Clay for drilling is also known as Salt Water Clay. It coats the sides of the holes, which prevents leaks and cave ins. It helps in continous drilling without having to bail out the cuttings from the bottom of the well. It cleans the bits and carries cuttings (pieces of soil and rock back to the surface). It meets API 13A specifications.
 
Application
It can be used to build viscosity in drilling fluids having a high salt concentration. It is used to increase the viscosity and suspension properties.

  • It provides high yield and rheological stability.
  • It does not flocculate.
  • It is unaffected by common contaminants.
