Bentonite

1.DESCRIPTION

Bentonite is a ground clay consisting of hydratable minaral Montmorillonite.

2.APPLICATION

Bentonite is used as a effective viscosifier and fluid loss reducing agent.It is most effective in fresh water but can be used in sea water or salt brines if it is prehydrated.

Bentonite may be protected contamination by the addition of thiners or dispersants. The compounds also minimise the high temperature gellation tendency shown by bentonitic drilling fluids.

Due to the flat platelike shape and small size of its particles, bentonites form a high level of lubricity, thus reducing the torque on the drill string.
