CEPAC LOVIS is a technical grade low viscosity Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) produced solely from highest quality cellulosic raw materials.
CEPAC LOVIS is non‐toxic and environmentally safe.
CEPAC LOVIS is a versatile drilling fluid additive, serving as filtration control agent and shale inhibitor in water-based muds ranging from fresh to highly saline make up waters.
CEPAC LOVIS is a low molecular weight PAC and is used when minimal viscosity increase is desired (e.g. in high-solids muds).
CEPAC LOVIS is designed to control fluid loss in fresh water, KCl, sea and saturated salt fluids. It helps forming a thin, pliable and resilient filter cake and works over a broad range of pH.
Shale inhibition tests show that CEPAC LOVIS improves the control of reactive solids inhibiting swelling and dispersion of hydratable clays.
Treatment
CEPAC LOVIS should be mixed slowly through conventional jet type mud hoppers. Best results are obtained when the product is mixed at uniform rate, no faster than the mixing equipment can handle (normally 1-2 min/kg). Avoid dumping the polymer into the hopper (slugging), as this promotes the formation of lumps or fisheyes.
CEPAC LOVIS is compatible with virtually all additives for water-based drilling fluid systems.
Typical dosage range of CEPAC LOVIS is between 1 to 4 kg/m³ depending upon fluid composition and desired properties.
