TUNNEL-GEL® PLUS

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

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

Applications and Functions

Enhanced viscosity development in freshwater drilling fluids
Effective cuttings transport and suspension characteristics
Enhanced filtration control and resulting borehole stability
Effective lubrication fluid for microtunneling operations

Advantages

Easy to mix and quickly reaches maximum viscosity
Enhances fluid lubricity for reduction of required jacking forces
Yields more than twice as much drilling fluid of the same viscosity as an equal concentration of API grade bentonite
