DESCRIPTION
Cetco Quad Power Base is a highly concentrated, liquid, polymer emulsion that serves as the base for QUAD POWERâ„¢ polymer drilling products. Used by itself, Cetco Quad Power Base will produce a high viscosity solution in water which can fulfil the demands of most short bore length drilling applications. It is highly lubricating, clay inhibitive, and can help remove fine solids from the borehole. POWER-BASE can also be dosed with other QUAD POWER additives to target more difficult situations such as drilling through reactive clays, or sand and gravel conditions.
RECOMMENDED USE
QUAD POWER polymer drilling products are designed for use in smaller diameter/short-length horizontal bores when use of bentonite is not desired. The products are offered in single use sized bags that help eliminate confusion about dosing into the smaller mix tanks. POWERBASE can serve as the sole drilling additive for many jobs with one or two bags being sufficient for the 500-gallon tanks commonly used. If there are adverse drilling conditions, single-dose bags of the other QUAD POWER polymer drilling products can be added as necessary.
ADVISORY
QUAD POWER polymer drilling products or any polymer products alone should never replace bentonite based drilling fluids for larger diameter, longer bore shots, or exceptionally challenging and higher risk projects. It is a best practice to shake pouch before use, especially in cold weather.
CHARACTERISTICS
► Bags are sized perfectly to match the dose needed for a 500-gallon mix tank – no more, no less
â–º Encapsulates swelling clays and helps minimize sticking
â–º Highly concentrated polymer produces high viscosity with very low dosage
â–º Liquid viscosifier mixes into water more quickly and with less shear than powdered products
â–º Perfect viscosity base for creating any type of fluid you need to get through any geo-formation
â–º Takes up a lot less space on a jobsite or on a shelf
