Partially Hydrolysed Poly Acrylamide(PHPA)
Product Details :
Filtron Envirotech (India) is the leading Manufacturer, Exporter & Supplier of Oil Drilling Chemicals, Specialty Drilling Polymers. PHPA (Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide polymer) is a specially treated high molecular weight Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide polymer for all water-base drilling fluids. It functions as viscosifying agent, shale and bore-hole stabilizer, encapsulator, bentonite extender, flocculation agent and assist with fluid loss control. The Partially Hydrolysed Poly Acrylamide manufactured by our company are sold in all over Countries worldwide.It is a high molecular weight polymer that controls fluid loss and increases viscosity.
PHPA is applicable in freshwater, seawater, saturated saltwater mud, KCl and solids free brine systems. It provides cuttings encapsulation, shale filming/inhibition, flocculation of drilled solids, viscosity and lubricity.
PHPA's strong encapsulating/filming action stabilizes clay and shale formations, blocks the absorption or inhibition of water from the drilling fluids, prevents clay and shale cuttings from disintegration and dispersion into the mud while carrying up the annulus from bit to surface. Fluids contained PHPA has property of shear-thinning which helps maximize drill rate by exhibiting low bit viscosity and high lifting capacity at the lower shear rate at the annulus.
Advantages:
- It functions as an inhibitor by coating or encapsulating formation & cuttings.
- It also restricts the interaction of water hydratable & dispersible shale’s.
- It can be used as a flocculent in clear water drilling.
- It also provides inhibition properties to fresh water, sea water and also in presence of calcium ions.
- High viscosity of this drilling fluid helps in better removal of cuttings from bore hole.
- It is resistant to bacterial fermentation.
