CT-AUS-PLUG Super Absorbent Polymer

DESCRIPTION

CT-AUS-PLUG is a hydrophilic polymer in granular form that absorbs up to 500 times its original volume in water. It is ideal for sealing zones of lost circulation and can also be used to reduce rod vibration in holes where lost returns are a problem.

ADVANTAGES

Easy to use, Very economical, Extremely high expansion rate, Efficient in low pressure environments, Environmentally safe, Easy to drill out, Compatible with most products and systems

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance: White free flowing granular powder

Bulk density: 510 ± 50

Particle size: 2 – 4 mm

Solubility: Swells rapidly on contact

pH value: 7.0 – 8.0

RECOMMENDEDTREATMENT
CT-AUS-PLUG should used in quantities of 0.5 – 1.5 kg per 20 litres of fresh water or the drilling fluid before being pumped down into the cavity or when spotted across the thief zone.

Avoid pumping the CT-AUS-PLUG in a dry state and ensure consideration has been placed on down hole tooling tolerances and lost circulation conditions. When using CT-AUS-PLUG in diamond core ensure the tube has been retrieved, the suction as well as any other internal pump screens have been removed before pumping the solution. Repeat as necessary to regain circulation.

CT-AUS-PLUG can be used independently or to compliment other lost circulation control materials.

PACKAGING

CT-AUS-PLUG is packed in 15kg Box as standard. Custom packing also available
