SPERSENE I

Multi-purpose deflocculant for all water-based muds

SPERSENE I ferrochrome lignosulfonate is a multi-purpose deflocculant and gel-strength reducer, temperature stabilizer, inhibitor, and filtration-control additive for all water-base drilling fluid systems.

Applications

SPERSENE I has proven to be an excellent all-purpose deflocculant and fluid-loss-control agent. It is effective for viscosity control and fluid loss-reduction in all water-base mud systems, including freshwater, brackish water, seawater, salt, lime, gyp and potassium systems. The product has proven to have superior deflocculating capabilities, even in the presence of contaminants and elevated temperatures.

Advantages

• Highly effective deflocculant and rheology stabilizer
• Compatible with all water-base mud systems
• Temperature tolerance in the 275° to 325°F (135° to 163°C) range
• Helps reduce fluid loss without high concentrations of clay or filtration control additives
• Effectively inhibits bentonitic cuttings and/or shale hydration when used in sufficient concentrations
• Tolerant to, and continues to function in, the presence of contaminants
• Contains the more environmentally acceptable Cr3+ chrome valence state.
