  • Increases viscosity and gel strength at low concentrations, giving strong suspension for cuttings and weighting agents in vertical, directional and horizontal wells.
  • Provides good hole cleaning and stable rheology in fresh, saline and brine muds, so it is used in both land and offshore drilling, completion and workover fluids.
  • Helps control fluid loss and limits formation damage compared with many synthetic polymers.
  • Other Features
  • Food and cosmetics: Common thickener and stabilizer in sauces, drinks, lotions and gels.
  • Industrial products: Used in adhesives, inks and cleaners where controlled viscosity and shear-thinning flow are needed.
