Product Description
This Organophilic Amino-Attapulgite Suspension Agent is a specially engineered additive designed to effectively control the settling of solids in oil-based drilling fluids. Its unique rheological structure, based on organophilic amino-attapulgite, suspends weighting materials and other solids with minimal increase in viscosity and gel strength compared to conventional bentonite or hectorite-based organoclays. The Organophilic Amino-Attapulgite Suspension Agent can be used either as a standalone suspension additive or in combination with conventional organoclays to enhance solids suspension capacity without substantially increasing system viscosity, making it particularly valuable for maintaining fluid stability during storage and in static conditions.
Applications/Functions
Conditions drilling mud before storage and transportation to prevent solids settling;
Controls barite and weighting material settling in diesel-based fluids without requiring additional additives;
Reduces syneresis (oil separation) in fluids stored without agitation;
Enhances suspension capacity in fluids already treated with organoclays;
Improves cuttings removal efficiency while maintaining low viscosity profiles.
Advantages
Thermally stable at bottom hole temperatures exceeding 400°F (204°C);
Significantly reduces top oil separation in stored fluids;
Maintains consistent suspension performance across varying water contents and temperatures;
Disperses readily in oil-based fluids for easy integration;
Compatible with all conventional oil-based drilling fluid additives;
Enables formulation of low-viscosity, high-performance drilling fluids.
Typical Properties
Appearance: Light tan, free-flowing powder
Specific Gravity: 2.0
Recommended Treatment
A typical treatment range of 1-5 ppb is recommended, depending on specific fluid properties and operational requirements. For optimal performance, pilot tests should be conducted to determine the ideal concentration for particular applications. The Organophilic Amino-Attapulgite Suspension Agent should be added gradually during mixing to ensure uniform dispersion and maximum effectiveness.
Storage & Handling
Store in a dry, cool environment in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product effectiveness.
