XANTHAN GUM POLYMER CT-XCD 101
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CTXCD 101 is a high molecular weight Xanthan gum biopolymer. It is used to viscosify water based drilling and completion fluids. It is primarily a viscosity modifier for freshwater and Salt Saturated Muds.
APPLICATION
CTXCD 101 Viscosifies fresh water and brine-based fluids used for drilling, milling, under reaming, and gravel packing operations. It suspends bridging agents and weighting materials in fresh water and brine systems.
ADVANTAGES
-
It helps disperses easily in fresh water muds, and brines.
-
It can provide thixotropic properties and non-Newtonian flow characteristics over a wide salinity range at low concentrations.
-
It provide excellent suspension without the need for clays.
-
It stable up to 250°F (121°C).
