PREMIUM GEL NT

PREMIUM GEL NT is a 200-mesh, high-purity, natural sodium bentonite that meets API 13A Section 10 specifications. PREMIUM GEL NT is designed to produce viscous slurries in freshwater when mixed at dosages of roughly 6% to 10% solids by weight. It is completely polymer free.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Completely free of polymers and salts and conforming to API 13A Section 10 specifications for untreated bentonite
• Cools and lubricates drill-bits and cutting surfaces
• Good dispersibility and rapid viscosity development
• Improves rate of penetration and efficiently removes cuttings from around bit
• Reduces filtrate loss out into formation and produces thin, tight filter cake for improved borehole stability
• Reduces water bleed and decreases permeability in cementitious mixes
• Suspends solids for easy removal from hole
