EZ-MUD® PLUS

EZ-MUD PLUS liquid polymer emulsion contains partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer and is used primarily as a viscosifier and borehole stabilizer to prevent reactive shales and clays from swelling and sloughing. EZ-MUD PLUS is also added to low-solids drilling fluids to increase lubricity and to improve the carrying capacity of air/foam injection fluids.EZ-MUD PLUS polymer emulsion is a high molecular weight version of EZ-MUD polymer emulsion with improved properties.

Applications and Functions

Stabilize reactive shale and clay formations
Improve borehole and excavation stability
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 in diamond core drilling
Create "stiff-foam" and maintain foam integrity
Flocculate non-reactive solids in reserve pit at low concentrations

Advantages

NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
Liquid form – mixes easily with minimum shear in fresh water
Efficient shale/clay stabilizer and viscosifier
Non-fermenting
Cost-effective - small amounts produce desired results
Breaks down chemically with bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
