attapulgite for drilling fluid

Description

JSBA ATTAPULGITE FOR DRILLING FLUID
 
A. DESCRIPTION
BT-Z attapulgite for drilling fluid(or BT-Z Salt Gel ) is selectively mined drilling grade attapulgite clay meeting API *3A specifications. Is is utilized to viscosify water based drilling fluids forming stable gel structure with high yields.
 
B.Characteristics:
Salt Gel requires mechanical shear and agitation for maximum viscosity. It is not a hydratable clay and does not swell by adsorbing water to create viscosity. Salt Gel provides viscosity by the physical interaction of its rod-like particles.
 
C.Product Advantages:
Effective in saltwater based fluids up to and including saturation.
Unaffected by the majority of typical ionic contaminants.
Provides stable rheology even at elevated temperatures.
