GLO FL 4000
Description:
It is derived from the seed of the guar plant.
It is a polysaccharide polymer with molecular
weight of about 2,20,000. The repeating unit is
composed of galactose and manose.
Application:
It is used for fluid loss control in all water
based mud systems specially in salt water mud.
It provides viscosity also.
