CT-CMC-HV High Viscosity Carboxy Methyl Cellulose

DESCRIPTION

CT CMC HV is a high viscosity, high molecular weight dispersible Carboxy Methyl Cellulose fluid loss additive designed to provide viscosity and reduce API filtration rate to water based drilling fluids.


APPLICATION

It is a cost effective additive used to reduce API filtration rate of many water based drilling fluids from freshwater to saturate saltwater. It is suited for water-loss and rheological control in low-solids mud and is a highly efficient viscosifier in all other mud


ADVANTAGES

• Widely available and low cost polymer for fluid Loss control

• It is an effective at providing filtration control in most water based drilling fluids.

• It is effective in low concentrations.

• It is Non–Toxic.

• It is not subjected to bacterial fermentation and calcium contamination.

• Can be used in Most water based Fluid systems

• Increases viscosity
