QUIK-GEL viscosifier is an easy-to-mix, finely ground (200-mesh), premium-grade, high-yielding Wyoming sodium bentonite. QUIK-GEL imparts viscosity, fluid loss control and gelling characteristics to freshwater-based drilling fluids.

Applications:

• Mix with fresh water to form a low-solids drilling fluid for general drilling applications
• Viscosify water-based drilling fluids
• Reduce filtration by forming a thin filter cake with low permeability
• Improve hole-cleaning capability of drilling fluids
• Mix with foaming agents to make “gel/foam” drilling fluids for air/foam drilling applications
