QUIKGEL, BAROID, HIGH YEILD BENTONITE, 50LB BAG 48 bags to a pallet- sold pallet qty only

Description

QUIK-GEL is an easy-to-mix, finely ground (200-mesh), premium-grade, high-yielding Wyoming Sodium Bentonite. QUIK-GEL provides viscosity, fluid loss control and gelling characteristics to freshwater-based drilling fluids.

Applications/Functions

• Form a thin filter cake with low permeability
• Seal downhole instrumentation in test and observation holes
• Reduce filtrate invasion into permeable formations
• Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids
• Provide lubricity for drilling fluids
• Mix with fresh water to form a low-solids drilling fluid for general drilling applications
• Mix with foaming agents to make "gel/foam" drilling fluids for air/foam drilling applications 

Advantages

• Single-sack product and cost effective
• Mixes easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity
• Excellent for environmental exploration drilling and in drilling potable water wells
• Yields more than twice as much mud of the same viscosity as an equal weight of API oilfield grades of bentonite 

Typical Properties

• Appearance - Tan powder
• Bulk density, lb/ft - 68 to 72 (as packaged)
• pH (3% solution) - 8.9
• Yield, bbl/ton > 235 

Recommended Treatment

Mix slowly through a jet mixer or sift slowly into the vortex of a high-speed stirrer.

*1 bbl = 42 U.S. gallons

Notes:
For optimum yield, pre-treat make-up water with 1-2 pounds of soda ash per 100 gallons of water (1.2-2.4 kg/m).

This product has been certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) to contribute to no adverse health problems when used as the manufacturer recommends for the construction of potable water wells.
