Natrasol

NATRASOL HI-VIS is a non-ionic, ultra-high molecular weight HEC (hydroxyethylcellulose) designed specifically to viscosify water-based drilling fluids. The free-flowing powder has been surface-treated to disperse rapidly and dissolve easily in water. The resulting polymer solution is clear, viscous and essentially residue-free.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Provides a low-solids, cost-effective viscosifier for completion and workover fluids, spud muds, low-solids drilling fluids and fracturing fluids.
  • Exhibits a shear-thinning (pseudoplastic) behavior.
  • Under high shear at the bit, the apparent viscosity thins, thereby increasing penetration rates.
  • In low-shear zones such as in the annulus, viscosity is regained instantaneously, providing
    excellent suspending properties for optimum hole cleaning.
  •  Is compatible with other drilling fluid additives such as biocides, oxygen scavengers and
    corrosion inhibitors.
  • Will viscosify fresh water, sea water and salt solutions up to saturation.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

2 – 50 kg/m³ or more depending on the application.

Note: Laboratory testing is recommended for optimum concentration for an application.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

Appearance: Off white powder; odourless
Specific Gravity: 1.38
Solubility: Dispersible
pH: 6.0 – 8.5 (1% solution)
Viscosity: 4400 – 6500 cP (1% water, 25°C)

MIXING/HANDLING:

Mix directly through the hopper. NATRASOL HI-VIS solution prepared in pH neutral waters is rapid; cold water will require a longer hydration time. Refer to the SDS for specific precautions and handling requirements.
