Description
Novel powdered solid lubricant compounded from natural mineral and surfactant. Overcomes limitations of plastic beads in directional-drilling tool clearances and compensates deficiencies of liquid lubricants & bead-type solids. Widely used for directional and horizontal-well drilling-fluids for key lubrication effect.
Characteristics declared for the product and stated conditions. Selection and performance subject to technical evaluation of the fluid system.
Appearance
Black / grey-black solid.
Main Advantages
- Outstanding lubricity and resilience: reduces friction & torque and prevents pipe sticking under heavy contact in directional / cluster wells.
- Natural-mineral structure provides lost-circulation sealing and borehole-wall reinforcement.
- Strong plugging capacity.
- Non-fluorescent; per the manufacturer's documentation, non-toxic and non-corrosive. For safety determinations, consult the applicable SDS.
- Improves mud properties: reduces viscosity, filtrate loss and optimizes filter cake.
- High temperature-resistance (>180 °C).

Technical note: Density (1.8–2.2 g/cm³) corresponds to the solid product, not the apparent bulk density of the powder. Lubrication-coefficient reduction is reported separately at ambient temperature and after 16 h hot-rolling at 150 °C; these must not be combined.
Application
Normal dosage 1%–3%; for plugging 3%–5%.
Dosage Guidance
Normal: 1%–3%; for plugging: 3%–5%.
Indicative range from technical documentation. Final dosage requires testing and evaluation of the fluid system.
