Swellgel Plus Bentonite

Swellgel Plus is a composition of high-performance Wyoming-grade sodium bentonite and a polymer enhancing its natural rheological properties. Swellgel Plus is intended for the preparation of bentonite mud used for drilling operations in the HDD technology and during all types of vertical drilling (well drilling, drilling for vertical heat exchangers, geological exploratory drilling, etc.)

Product benefits

high rheological parameters at low concentrations
good stabilizing properties on borehole walls
high degree of drill cutting removal from the hole
good lubricating properties
easy and quick process of preparing the drilling fluid
