PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CT DRILDET is a special aqueous blend of surfactants equally effective regardless of makeup water, whether it is fresh or saturated salt water. It also has a lubricating effect. It is designed to reduce the surface tension of the water-based mud system
APPLICATION
CT DRILDET may be used in any area where it is desirable to reduce the foaming tendencies of water base muds. It is compatible with fresh water mud, sea water mud and brine system mud. It is also effective in KCL and sea water muds
ADVANTAGES
Promotes solids settling and reduces pump pressure.
Improved sampling through cleaner samples and more distinct cuttings.
Increased penetration rates.
Reduced hole friction and torque.
Reduced bit balling, mud rings and cake build-up on drill strings.
Reduced wear on surface mud system expendables and
Increased bit life.
PROPERTIES
Physical Appearance - Colorless to Blue Green Liquid
Specific Gravity - 1.01 to 1.03

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
Normal Dosage ranges from 0.1 to 0.2 lb/bbl (0.3 to 0.6 kg/m3) under most conditions. In severe shale areas, 4 to 6 lb/bbl (11.4 to 17 kg/m3) dosage is recommended to minimize bit and BHA balling. CT-DRILDET is effective in all water-base systems including freshwater, brackish water, seawater and saturated saltwater fluids
PACKING AND STORAGE
CT-DRILDET is packaged in 5‐gal (18.9‐L) cans and 55‐gal (208‐L) drums. Store in dry, well‐ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames
