QUIK-TROL, modified natural cellulosic
polymer, provides filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids.
QUIK-TROL, when added to a QUIK-GEL® slurry, yields a drilling
mud system suitable for drilling in sandy formation. QUIK-TROL can
be added to vegetable or mineral oil to provide an oil-based fluid
suspension which can be poured into drill string directly. QUIK-TROL
is also used in air/gel-foam drilling. |

or brackish water-based drilling fluids Reduce fluid loss without
significantly increasing fluid viscosity Encapsulate shale to prevent
swelling and disintegration Promote borehole stability in water
sensitive formations Minimize rod chatter, rotational torque and
circulating pressure Improve hole cleaning and core recovery Stiffen
the foam to improve cuttings transport in air/foam drilling
Reduce air requirements, uphole velocity
and borehole annulus pressure

Borehole
Stabilizing Dry Polymer |
| Description
SEE SPECS |
POLY-BORE is a free flowing, water-soluble,
easy mixing, 100% dry granular polymer. POLY-BORE is a very high molecular
weight partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) polymer. When mixed
with fresh water, a small quantity of POLY-BORE provides a clear, solid-free,
viscous borehole stabilizing fluid for use in drilled shaft, auger
drilling, horizontal directional boring, trenching excavation and reverse
circulation (RC) rotary drilling.
|
| Applications/Functions |
Provide a clay-free boring fluid
Inhibit sticky clay from swelling Stabilize the borehole while
drilling or excavating Provide high cohesiveness to bind excavated
sandy soil and gravel Facilitate the removal of drilled spoils
from augers and increase excavation rate Maximize load transfer
for drilled shaft application
ANSI/NSF Standard 60 certified
|
| Advantages |
Disperses easily with minimal shear
Develops a viscous slurry with small amount Does not require solids
control unit to clean the slurry Promotes stable and gage borehole
Alleviates bit balling and mud rings Requires less mixing equipment,
reducing capital investment Results in maximum skin friction and
ultimate end bearing capacity for a drilled shaft Breaks down chemically
with bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
Non-fermenting

| Typical
Properties |

Treatment |
Construction Application
Add 3 to 10 pounds (1.4 to 4.5 kilograms) POLY-BORE dry polymer slowly
through the hopper to mix with 1,000 gallons (3.8 m³) of fresh
water. (See general instructions listed below.)
Reverse Circulation Drilling
Add 0.5 to 1 pound (0.2 to 0.5 kilograms) POLY-BORE dry polymer slowly
through the hopper to mix with 100 gallons (0.38 m³) of
fresh water. (See general instructions listed below.)
General Instructions
Continue mixing for another 15 to 20 minutes to allow POLY-BORE to
hydrate.
If POLY-BORE is being
added directly to a tank with paddle mixers, make sure
the freshwater level is well above the paddles. Add the
POLY-BORE slowly to the vortex of the spinning paddles.
Measure the funnel viscosity of
the polymer slurry and adjust according to required specifications.
Notes:
Make-up water used to
mix POLY-BORE should meet the following quality:
total chloride
less than 1500 ppm (mg/L) total hardness less than
150 ppm as calcium total chlorine less than 100
ppm
water pH between
8.5-9.5
Reduce total hardness of
make-up water by adding 1 to 2 pounds (0.45 to 0.9 kilograms)
soda ash (sodium carbonate) per 1,000 gallons (3.8 m³)
of make-up water. (Do not add in excess as overtreatment
can lead to detrimental effects and reduced performance
of the drilling fluid).
POLY-BORE can be chemically broken
down with regular household liquid bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite).
Use one gallon of liquid bleach per 100 gallons (10 liters/m³)
of fluid formulated with POLY-BORE. Do not use perfumed liquid
bleach or solid calcium hypochlorite.
|
| Packaging |
POLY-BORE is packaged in 14 lb (6.35-kg)
resealable plastic containers. |
