LIQUI-POL

VISCOSIFIER

DESCRIPTION
LIQUI-POL is a liquid anionic polymer viscosifier with high molecular weight providing rapid viscosity without the problems associated with mixing, as is the case with most powdered polymers. It provides a complete drilling fluid system and mixes very rapidly in fresh or brackish water.

    APPLICATIONS/FUNCTIONS
    LIQUI-POL can be used in diamond drilling or water well drilling:
  • Produces rapid viscosity.
  • Very cost effective - low concentration required.
  • Reduces rod chatter and torque - increases core recovery.
  • Inhibits water sensitive formations - improves borehole stability.

    ADVANTAGES

  • The polymer can be easily and economically broken down for the development of water wells after setting screens.
  • Controls sticky clays and inhibits water sensitive, swelling formations.
  • Promotes effective settling of drilling solids in surface pits.
  • Cost effective and economical to transport.

    RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

  • Water Well Drilling
    • Add 1.0 - 1.5 litres per 1,000 litres for complete water well drilling fluid.

  • Diamond Drilling
    • Add 0.75 - 1.25 litres / 1,000 litres water for complete drilling fluid.
    • Add 0.5 - 0.75 litres / 1,000 litres to stop rod vibration and reduce torque.
