Product Description

Calcium Bentonite is a premium-grade bentonite (a sodium montmorillonite caly) that

will yield 91 to 100 barrels of 15-cP mud per ton (1.7m3/100kg). It is used

as a primary filter-cake-building, filtration-control and suspension agent in

freshwater systems, and has application in all water-base mud systems.

Application/Function

Calcium Bentonite is used to increase viscosity and reduce fluid loss in water base

drilling fluids. It is a cost-effective means of achieving viscosity, fluid-loss

control and filter-cake quality in freshwater and seawater mud.

Advantages

Stabilizes the borehole

Improves hole-cleaning capacity of drilling fluids

Reduces fluid loss into the formation

Is environmentally responsible
