PRODUCTS

Our products utilize the unique properties of Sodium Bentonite for a wide verity of industrial and commercial applications. These properties include the ability to form viscous thixotropic fluids when mixed with fresh water. These properties are very beneficial in drilling applications. They have the ability to lift and remove drill cuttings, seal and prevent formation fluids from entering the hole , reduce friction of drill string against the drill hole and cool and clean the bit. Another aspect of sodium bentonite is its capacity to create very low permeability seals for construction of reservoirs, landfills, containment barriers and cutoff walls.

PRIME-GEL is an API certified, 200 mesh, 90 barrel yield, premium-grade sodium bentonite which complies with the current edition of API Specification 13A, section 9 requirements. PRIME-GEL functions as a viscosifier and filtrate reducer in freshwater drilling systems.
