Supply evaluation upon request — Legal Notice & Commercial Scope

Description

High-temperature-resistant (120 °C) grade of carboxymethyl starch (CMS), produced by alkalization and etherification of starch. Excellent saturated-salt-water and calcium resistance.

Characteristics declared for the product and stated conditions. Selection and performance subject to technical evaluation of the fluid system.

Appearance

White / pale-yellow free-flowing powder / granules.

Main Advantages

  • Thermal-resistant grade withstands 120 °C for salt-water drilling-fluid.

Fluid Systems Mentioned

Fresh Water Saturated Salt Water

Technical note: The four API fluid-loss results are distinguished by water type (fresh / saturated-salt) and by condition (ambient / after hot-rolling at 120 °C for 16 h); they must not be combined or averaged.

Application

Directly applicable in diverse water-based mud systems; compatible with multiple mud additives. Recommended dosage: 1%–3%. Recommended mud pH 9–12. For fresh-water / low-salt mud below 60 °C, add biocide to prevent mud fermentation.

Dosage Guidance

1%–3%. Recommended mud pH: 9–12.

Indicative range from technical documentation. Final dosage requires testing and evaluation of the fluid system.

Packaging & Storage

3-in-1 composite bags with PE liner, net 25 kg/bag. Cool dry ventilated warehouse.
