ViscoGel

Inhibitor/Filtrate Control/Viscosifier

DESCRIPTION
ViscoGel is a partially hydrolysed tri-polymer. It is an excellent inhibitor of clay and shale's on its own, but more importantly, it mixes with bentonite to form a tough thin filter cake on the sidewalk of the borehole. This protects highly water sensitive sandy friable formations and aids in full core recovery.

    APPLICATIONS/FUNCTIONS
  • Stabilise water sensitive formations
  • Prevents water seepage into the formation
  • Holds up sandy formations
  • Prevents friable water sensitive core being washed away

    ADVANTAGES

  • Easy to mix as it is a liquid
  • Very high viscosity
  • Less expensive and less wastage than other polymers

    TYPICAL PROPERTIES

  • Appearance: Milky white
  • Flash point: 93 °C
  • Specific gravity: 1.05 g/cm3

    RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

  • Normal use: 2 Lt to 3 Lt/500 litres
