DESCRIPTION
ROTAFOAM CONCENTRATE is a highly concentrated biodegradable blend of anionic surfactants and stabilising agents.

APPLICATIONS/FUNCTIONS

• Increases the hole cleaning capability of the air stream.
• Used for drilling in zones of extreme loss or circulation.
• Lowers the compressor requirements for a given depth or water influx.
• Reduces the sticking tendencies of wet clays, thereby reducing mud rings and pack offs.
• Suppresses dust while dry air drilling.
• Permits the recovery of larger cuttings.

ADVANTAGES


• ROTAFOAM CONCENTRATE provides high foam quality at low concentrations.
• Reduces water consumption and compressor requirements.
• ROTAFOAM CONCENTRATE is biodegradable.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES


• Appearance: Light brown coloured liquid
• Completely soluble in water

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT


• Dust suppression, 0.5 litre to 1.0 litre/1000 litres water.
• Mist drilling, 1.0 litres to 5.0 litres/1000 litres water.
• Foam drilling, 2.5 litres to 20.0 litres/1000 litres water.
• Stiff foam drilling, 2.5 litres to 20.0 litres/1000 litres water.
• If drilling conditions are very poor, a stabiliser such as POLYFLIP or EZEEMIX may be used to increase bubble stability and carrying capacity. The stabiliser is added to the injection water prior to the addition of the foam concentrate. Recommended dosage is as follows: POLYFLIP: 100g to 300g per 100 litres water; EZEEMIX: 30g to 100g per 100 litres water.

PACKAGING


• ROTAFOAM CONCENTRATE is packed in 25Kg and 100Kg Plastic Drums.
