SAND MASTER
A versatile additive that significantly increases suspension characteristics of SLIKGEL based drilling fluids when drilling in coarse sand and/or gravel. SAND MASTER helps carry high volumes of sand, gravel or any larger cutting out of the bore hole and suspends cuttings in the annulus while the pump is off. SAND MASTER can also be used without bentonite as a super-efficient stand-alone high gel strength drilling fluid additive. This type of natural polymer fluid mixes easily in hard water or water with low pH and is very resistant to contamination. SAND MASTER is an off-white powder. Packaged in 25 lb. buckets

FLO-PAC
An extremely useful additive in almost all drilling conditions. FLO-PAC lowers water-loss from any bentonite based drilling fluid. Lowered water loss increases borehole stability by preventing the soils from washing or loosening, dissolving or becoming dis-lodged by free water leaving the borehole. Controlling water loss also helps prevent partial or even whole fluid loss in many formations. FLO-PAC slightly increases fluid viscosity and can be used with any other DCS additive to improve and control fluid properties. FLO-PAC is an off-white powder.

QUICK STICKS
Used as a sweep to clean the bit or cutter and drill pipe of sticky clay. QUICK STICKS are tubes wrapped in dissolvable packaging that can be placed directly in the drill pipe on connection. They begin to dissolve immediately in the drilling fluid to release a very strong dispersant which will clean clay from the BHA and reduce torque and improve penetration rates. QUICK STICK dimensions: 1 5/8” X 12”
Packaged 22 per bucket
