DESCRIPTION
Ecolube-16 is a specially formulated extreme pressure lubricant designed to reduce rotary torque by providing a low friction environment for diamond drill rods. Ecolube-16 was developed for use in hard or saline water. Even under extreme conditions, Ecolube-16's unique characteristics provide maximum reduction of torque in a wide variety of water types. Ecolube-16 is biodegradable, environmentally friendly and non hazardous when used as directed.

APPLICATIONS/FUNCTIONS

• Reduces torque and frictional drag on the drill rods
• Minimises wear on drill string
• Extends bit life
• Facilitates faster and more efficient drilling
• Improves bit penetration

ADVANTAGES


• Economical and efficient
• Environmentally acceptable
• Biodegradable
• Suitable in a wide range of water types
• Easy to mix and use
• The reduction in torque allows an increase in RPM's which could improve the ROP
• Reduces rod vibration

TYPICAL PROPERTIES


• Appearance: Amber coloured liquid

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT


• Add 2.0 Lt to 7.5 Lt per 1000 Lt water
• Add directly at the pump suction
• Use an injection pump or set up a suction hose from the rig pump

PACKAGING
