Primarily used as a shale stabilizer, viscosifier and friction reducer in solid free drilling fluid. It provides inhibition, lubricity, reduces friction in fresh water.
- Effective viscosifier and bore hole stabilizer providing shale control.
- It can be used as a flocculent in clear water drilling.
- Helps in better removal of cutting from bore hole.
- It improves lubricity.
- Produces rapid viscosity development and provides cutting encapsulation.
- Enhances air foam system capabilities.
