PAC-RE™ high molecular weight polyanionic cellulose is used to provide filtration control and supplementary viscosity in most water-based drilling fluids.
- Appearance White or tan powder B : Add 0.5-3.0 lb/bbl (1.43-8.56 kg/m³) of PAC-RE filtration control agent slowly through the hopper
- Helps control filtration rates
- Effective in fresh water, salt water, and brine-based fluids
- Helps retard shale swelling and disintegration
- Helps provide supplementary viscosity in fresh water, sea water, and brine-based fluids
- Effective in small concentrations for viscosity and filtration control
- Effective in moderate to high pH systems
- Non-toxic
- Does not require a bactericide
- Stable at temperatures up to 300°F (149°C)
