Surfactants & Emulsifiers

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-FOAM is a blend of surfactants and foam boosters specifically designed to provide a broad spectrum foam. Unlike many other products, NC-FOAM performs well in the presence of oil and metal cations such as calcium. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Light yellow transparent liquid Specific Gravity 0.99-1.02g/cm3 Solubility Soluble in water APPLICATION NC-FOAM helps improve the carrying capacity of air through its foaming mechanism, reduces hydrostatic head when drilling with water or water-based drilling fluids, and suppresses dust in dry air-drilling. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT For freshwater, the treatment rate should be about 0.25 % v/v of NC-FOAM in the…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-DME PLUS is a concentrated ethoxylated product for use as a general purpose emulsifier in water-based drilling fluids when small amounts of diesel oil are emulsified in the aqueous phase. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Colorless liquid Specific Gravity 1.0 - 1.1g/cm3 Solubility Soluble in water APPLICATION Used as a general-purpose emulsifier and finds wide application when it is required to add diesel oil to the water-based fluid, for deforming or lubrication. NC-DME PLUS will give a stable emulsion of oil and drilling fluid in all levels of calcium or sodium salts. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT To emulsify oil into…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-Defoamer-S additive is a liquid defoaming agent formulated with higher esters to control foaming in all water-based drilling fluids containing freshwater, brackish water, seawater, saltwater, and saturated saltwater, as well as completion fluids. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Clear Liquid Specific Gravity 0.94g/cm3 Boiling Point 255°C Solubility Slightly soluble in water APPLICATION NC-Defoamer-S is a wide‐application product that reduces the foaming tendencies of water‐based muds. It is compatible with freshwater muds, brackish water muds, seawater muds, saturated salt muds, brine completion systems and all common mud additives. NC-Defoamer-S is easy to mix, works quickly, is effective in low…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION NC-DEFOAMER is a blend of high molecular weight alcohol and modified fatty acid derivatives, can be used to reduce or remove surface foam in fresh water and sea water drilling fluids and in viscosified brines. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Light yellow liquid Specific Gravity 0.87g/cm3 Flash Point 71.1 - 76.6°C Solubility Insoluble in water APPLICATION NC-DEFOAMER can be used in any water-based drilling fluids and completion fluid. It is used in small concentrations and is effective in pre-treatments to prevent foam formation and as a foam-removal treatment. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT Add 0.05 - 0.25 lb/bbl (0.14 - 0.71…
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ALUMINUM STEARATE is a surface active agent for deforming water-based fluids and completion fluids. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance White Powder Specific Gravity 1.07g/cm3 Melting Point 115°C Solubility Insoluble in water APPLICATION ALUMINUM STEARATE may be used as a defoamer in gyp, KCl, NaCl and lignin sulfonate systems. Due to its special structural features. RECOMMENDED TREATMENT ALUMINUM STEARATE is insoluble in water and must therefore be dissolved in diesel prior to use. This is best accomplished by mixing 2.5 - 5 Kg. (5.5 -11 Lb.) ALUMINUM STEARATE with 20 liters (5.3 US Gal.) of diesel oil and allowing…
