PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

NC-STAR filtration-control additive is a special starch derivative. When used in conjunction with a bridging agent such as sized calcium carbonate or sized salt, it provides a thin, pliable, easily removed filter cake. NC-STAR is a non-ionic material especially suited for fluids containing salts or ion-sensitive additives.
