Description

NO-SAG is a free-flowing, powdered and easily dispersed biopolymer

Applications/Functions

• Increase gel strength of the drilling fluid for better suspension of the drilled cuttings, coarse sand and gravel
• Enhance carrying capacity for solids suspension at lower viscosity to further ensure flowability on longer length bores and backreams
• Improves resistance to contamination when drilling in brackish and salt water environments 

Advantages

• Mixes easily into pre-hydrated bentonite based fluids
• Enhances BORE-GEL system by increasing the suspension properties of the base drilling fluid with a minimal increase in viscosity
