• Can mix easily into pre-hydrated bentonite-based fluids • Helps
enhance system by increasing the suspension properties of the base drilling fluid with a minimal increase in viscosity • Small packaging for ease of
handling and reduction of waste Applications: • Increased gel strength of the drilling fluid for better suspension of the drilled cuttings, coarse
sand and gravel • Enhanced carrying capacity for solids suspension at lower viscosity to further ensure flowability on longer length bores and
backreams • Improved resistance to contamination when drilling in brackish and salt water environments
