EZ-MUD®

EZ-MUD liquid polymer emulsion contains partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer and is used primarily as a borehole stabilizer to prevent reactive shale and clay from swelling and sloughing. EZ-MUD polymer emulsion is also added to low-solids drilling fluids to increase lubricity, fluid viscosity, and to improve carrying capacity of air/foam injection fluids.

Applications and Functions

Stabilize reactive shale and clay formations
Improve drilling efficiency in Water Well, Minerals Exploration, Geotechnical, HDD and Construction Applications
Enhance slurry rheological properties
Alleviate mud rings, bit balling and booting-off in clay formations
Reduce drill pipe torque and pumping pressure
Minimize rod chatter core drilling
Can be used to create a "stiff-foam"
Flocculate non-reactive solids

Advantages

NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
Mixes easily with minimum shear in fresh water
Helps provide effective clay and shale stabilization with lower viscosity
Helps impart high degree of lubricity
Non-fermenting
Breaks down chemically with household bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
