GLO VIS 1000
Description:
It is a special type high molecular weight polymer
and is used in very small quantity to increase
the viscosity of API Bentonite suspension of very
low concentration of bentonite in the system.
Application:
With its two-fold yield is able to maintain
a given viscosity with one-half the normal clay
solids. This is an excellent additive for low
solid drilling fluids. It also tends to cause
drilled solids to form agglomerates and settle
out. This further enhances its use as an additive
in weighted and unweighted non-dispersed drilling
fluid systems.
COMMON NAME - BENTONITE EXTENDER
(API)
Advantages:
- It extends the yield of bentonite and is
capable of doubling the yield of bentonite in
very concentration.
- Penetration rates are improved by better
solid control.
- Bit bearing life is extended by better solids
control.
- Mixing time is reduced due to lower bentonite
concentration necessary for required rheology.
- Less wall cake build up due to minimum amount
of drilled solids.
