Feature And Benefits
GLYPLUS™ LC when it reaches its cloud point, forms a micro-emulsion which not only enhances lubricity, it has also shown to reduce the dynamic fluid loss and filter cake thickness. GLYPLUS™ LC improves the performance of PHPA based drilling fluids. The use of GLYPLUS™ LC enables water based mud usage where oil based systems were previously the only option. GLYPLUS™ LC has excellent ionic tolerance and is environmentally acceptable.
Product Function
GLYPLUS™ LC stabilizes shales by adsorbing onto clay surfaces and preventing the water from entering the clay matrix.
Recommended treatment
GLYPLUS™ LC may be used in conjunction with most other common water based drilling fluid products. An addition level of 3–5% is recommended. Potassium ions are not required although enhanced performance is usually seen in their presence.
Shipping References
Transportation of GLYPLUS™ LC is not restricted by any regulatory agency.
