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.
