What is partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) based high molecular weight drilling polymer?

Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide (PHPA) based high molecular weight drilling polymer for use in controlling of fluid loss and increasing drilling mud viscosity and removal of colloidal from deep drilling foundations such as diaphragm walls, piling concretes, etc.

Which drilling fluid is compatible with PHPA?

It is compatible with most of the drilling fluid products, biopolymers, PAC, CMC. It maintains borehole stability by preventing shale swelling and erosion. PHPA maintains viscosity in solid free drilling fluid. As a Bentonite extender in low solids non-dispersed mud, it can be used along with small addition of Bentonite to suspend weight material.

Are PHPA drilling polymers toxic?

Key Features and Benefits: Chemtex's PHPA Drilling Polymers when tested for its toxicity level, were found eco-friendly and when compared to its contemporaries such as Bentonites (Al2H2O6Si). They may not be hazardous to soil but is highly toxic to aquatic life and hence do not find its use in sites beside water bodies.

Is PHPA a water soluble polymer?

PHPA is a co-polymer of anionic character and high molecular weight. It is a water-soluble polymer, which is primarily used as a highly efficient fluid loss reducer, Viscosifier and protective colloid for shale’s and cutting in fresh water, calcium, sodium brines and KCL mud systems.

What is PHPA (powder form)?

PHPA (powder form) is a readily dispersible additive designed to provide cuttings encapsulation and shale stabilization in freshwater to saltwater drilling fluids ranging from low solids to weighted muds.

Why is PHPA a good drilling fluid?

High viscosity of this drilling fluid helps in better removal of cuttings from bore hole. It is resistant to bacterial fermentation. PHPA is packed in 25kg/50 Lbs (22.68 Kg) Sacks. Private Labeling and customized packaging is also available on request
