• NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified • Single-sack product and cost effective • Can provide lubricity for drilling fluids • Can mix easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity • Can yield more than twice as much mud of the same viscosity as an equal weight of API oilfield grades of bentonite Applications: • Mix with fresh water to form a low-solids drilling fluid for general drilling applications • Viscosify water-based drilling fluids • Reduce filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability • Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids • Mix with foaming agents to make "gel/foam" drilling fluids for air/foam drilling applications
