Polyplus / Rapid Mud

Polyplus / Rapid MudPOLY-PLUST: POLY-PLUS polymer is a high-molecular-weight, anionic liquid designed to provide cuttings encapsulation and shale stabilization. POLY-PLUS also acts as a viscosifier, friction reducer and flocculant while providing some fluid-loss control. POLY-PLUS can be used in mud systems ranging from low-solids to weighted, utilizing makeup waters from fresh to saltwater.Typical Physical PropertiesPhysical appearance- Cream-colored, opaque liquidOdor- Slightly hydrocarbonSpecific gravity- 1.07-1.10pH (1% solution)- 8-9Flash point- >200OF (93.3OC) (PMCC)Pour point- 20OF (28.9OC)Viscosity (typical)- 500 cp

Based on 30% active materialApplicationsPOLY-PLUS polymer mud systems. POLY-PLUS provides excellent cuttings encapsulation and improved wellbore stability. Typical concentrations of POLY-PLUS are 0.75 to 3 lb/bbl (2.1 to 8.5 kg/m3). It is also effective in salt muds, such as Kclor NaCl-enhanced fluids, although slightly higher concentrations of POLY-PLUS may be required.  Clear-water fluids. POLY-PLUS may be used in clear-water, solids-free drilling fluids. POLY-PLUS increases viscosity and enhances solids removal by flocculating the undesired solids. It also provides cuttings encapsulation and improved wellbore stability. This system is frequently used in slimhole continuous-coring applications. The addition of 0.5 to 1.75 lb/bbl (1.4 to 5 kg/m3) enhances solids removal by flocculating solids.AdvantagesEasy to mix, works quickly and is effective at low concentrations in a wide range of systemsA persistent defoamerEspecially effective in KCI and seawater mud systemsAids in the removal of dissolved oxygenControls foaming in fluids viscosified with polymersHelps stabilize pump pressure by removing trapped air and gasLow-toxicity product and environmentally acceptable at the recommended concentrationsLimitationsNot effective in muds that have excessive gel strengthsToxicity and HandlingBioassay information is available upon requestHandle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described on the Transportation and Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)Packaging and Storage: DEFOAM-X is packaged in 5-gal(18.9-1) cans and 5-gal (208.2-1) drums
