TUNNEL-GEL® MAX

TUNNEL-GEL MAX is a specially formulated, high-yield bentonite designed for use in tunneling and large diameter HDD operations.

TUNNEL-GEL MAX promotes rapid viscosity development while maintaining effective borehole stabilization and enhanced filtration control in most water-based drilling fluids

Applications and Functions

Viscosifies water-based drilling fluids
Reduces filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability, resulting in borehole stabilization
Improves hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids

Advantages

Can provide lubricity
Can mix easily and quickly reaches maximum viscosity
Can be effectively used in a wide range of concentrations
Can be effective in a variety of drilling applications
Provides the option of using a variety of additives
