Viscosifier - Filtrate Control Additive

PAC-R is a modified natural polyanionic cellulosic polymer (PAC). It is exhibits high viscosity and is readily dispersible and water soluble. PAC-R provides filtration control in bentonite-based drilling fluids and increases water absorption capacity. Optimal results will be obtained by using PAC-R as an additive to the Phrikolat sodium Bentonite Type W.

Applications:
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), Water Well Drilling, Vertical & Oil Field Drilling, Pipe Jacking

Properties:

• Improves filter cake properties of bentonite muds
• Provides filtration control in fresh or salt water muds
• Increases water absorption capacity
• Improves flow properties of most drilling fluids
• Minimizes torque and circulating pressure
• Acts as protective colloid for bentonite
• Reduces swelling and dispersion of drilled clay/cuttings
• Promotes bore hole stability in water sensitive formations
• Effective in small quantities
• No biocides or preservatives required

PAC-R is compatible with all Phrikolat bentonites & additives and does not contain any harmful ingredients.

Recommended Concentrations:
Added to bentonite muds: 0,5-1 kg/m³
To stabilize Water sensitive formations: 2-4 kg/m³

Using a high shear jet-type mixer (venturi) is highly recommended. PAC-R should always be added to the system after bentonite. Adding should be done slowly and uniformly to the entire circulating system. Salt water may require twice as much PAC-R as fresh water.

Packaging:
25 kg multiple paper-bags on pallet, shrink wrapped, 1000 kgper pallet
Big Bags à 1000 kg (on request)

Horizontal Directional Drilling Bentonite

Phrikolat Bentonite W plus is an extra high yield Wyoming type sodium bentonite with a high montmorillonite content. It is a proprietary blended single bag product, using very fine-grained bentonite. The product is developed for difficult and changing ground conditions as encountered in Horizontal Directional Drilling.

Applications:
One-bag product for Horizontal-Directional-Drilling (HDD); Jacking lubricant in Pipe Jacking and Microtunnelling

Properties:
Bentonite W plus is easily to mix with water and provides in small concentrations stable suspensions with optimum gel strength and cuttings suspension while minimum resistance to flow/to pump. It reduces filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability and improves borehole stability in poorly consolidated sand and gravel formations. Bentonite W plus shows extraordinary high cuttings suspension and carrying capacities in gravel and reduces clay and shale swelling, bit balling and sticking problems in soft soils. The adaptation of the rheological properties onto changing ground conditions can be achieved easily by changing the product concentration.

Phrikolat Bentonite W plus is compatible with all Phrikolat polymers and does not contain any harmful ingredients.

Typical Concentrations:
Clay + Clay/Sand: 20-25 kg/m³
Sand + Gravel: 25-35 kg/m³
Gravel: 35-40 kg/m³

Mixing slowly and uniformly through a high-shear, jet-type mixer over one or more cycles of the volume of slurry will increase the performance of the product. The make-up water should be checked for pH-value and water hardness, where appropriate a conditioning with soda ash is required (a maximum of 0.5 kg/m³). Performance reduced in salty water due to decreased hydration.
Packaging:
25 kg multiple paper-bags with green band on pallet, shrink wrapped, 1000 kg per pallet
Big Bags à 1000 kg
Big Bags à 650 kg or 500 kg (on request)
