| INTRODUCTION
This product category includes a variety of chemicals which modify the surface chemistry of drilling fluids, controlling such properties as foaming, water-wetting, and fluid-phase interaction with mud solids. Also included are cleaners and solvents, as well as specialties such as thermal extenders, magnetic logging additives, and flocculants which facilitate separation of solids and liquids. |

Industrial-strength water-dispersible solvent/degreaser for general purpose cleaning around rigs and on offshore vessels to remove oil, fuel, grease, and dirt deposits. Especially useful for rig maintenance and mud test equipment cleanup on oil-base mud jobs. Product Data Sheet |
A highly effective alcohol-base liquid defoamer. |
Aluminum stearate defoamer. |
Organic phosphate defoamer. Product Data Sheet |
A vegetable-base liquid defoamer. |
Silicone defoamer/anti-foamer. |
A highly effective non-toxic liquid defoamer for desalination plants. Product Data Sheet
|
Coupler/wetting agent for hydrophobic additives such as asphalt and gilsonite. Makes products readily water wet for ease of dispersion into water base mud systems. For use with THERMO-SEAL, if required. Product Data Sheet
|
Magnetic slurry additive for NMR (nuclear magnetism resonance) logging. Product Data Sheet |
Foaming agent for building a stable foam drilling fluid. Several formulations are available to meet specific demands. |
A concentrated, highly effective oil-in-water mud emulsifier for fresh and brackish water drilling fluid systems. |
A widely used, highly effective mud detergent for water base drilling fluids. Reduces surface tension thereby promoting the settling of solids in the mud pits, reduces torque and drag, reduces the balling of shale cuttings, and increases the rate of drilling penetration. |
Flocculant (available in either a liquid or powder) to facilitate the removal of solids from fresh to sea water drilling fluids. Product Data Sheet |
Thermal stabilizer designed to retard thermal, oxidative, and hydrolytic degradation of polysaccharide and cellulose polymers. Extends the function of most polymers 75 to 100°F above their normal limits. Product Data Sheet |
Mud surfactant designed to provide rheological stability and thermal tolerance of dispersed water base muds. Improves oil wetting and lubrication, resulting in less torque and drag. |
A 30/60 mesh Attapulgite product used for a variety of purposes, including fuel filtering.
|
An epoxy resin coating system for for a variety of protective coating applications. |
