QUIK-GEL®

QUIK-GEL viscosifier is an easy-to-mix, finely ground (200-mesh), premium-grade, high-yielding Wyoming sodium bentonite.
QUIK-GEL viscosifier imparts viscosity, fluid loss control and gelling characteristics to freshwater-based drilling fluids.

Applications and Functions

Mix with fresh water to form a low-solids drilling fluid for general drilling applications
Viscosify water-based drilling fluids
Reduce filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability
Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids
Mix with foaming agents to make "gel/foam" drilling fluids for air/foam drilling applications

Advantages

NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
Single-sack product and cost effective
Can provide lubricity for drilling fluids
Can mix easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity
Can yield more than twice as much mud of the same viscosity as an equal weight of API oilfield grades of bentonite
