SMD Premium Bentonite CX GEL is widely used in the mineral exploration, pipe jacking, and water well drilling industries as a primary filter cake building, filtration control, and suspension agent in freshwater systems.

Premium Bentonite CX GEL is widely used in the mineral exploration, pipe jacking, and water well drilling industries as a primary filter cake building, filtration control, and suspension agent in freshwater systems. It provides great stability even in poorly consolidated formations and prevents fluids loss during the filter cake-building process and is extremely effective viscosifier in fresh and brackish water. It can also be used alongside other drilling mud products.

Advantages

• Stabilizes the borehole
• Improves hole-cleaning capacity of drilling fluids
• Reduces fluid loss into the formation
• Is environmentally responsible

Recommended Industries

Mineral Exploration
Pipe Jacking
Water Well Drilling

Recommended Treatment

Add bentonite viscosifier CX-GEL in concentrations of 0-25 lb/bbl (0-50 kg/m³) to any active system. Mix slowly through a jet mixer or sift slowly into the vortex of a high-speed stirrer.
