Functions

Oilfield

Drilling, cementing, workover, completion, fracturing operations

High viscosity grade: act as viscosifier for completion fluid and workover fluid in oilfield, imparts higher flowability and stability, increases mud’s carrying ability, extends the borer’s service life.

 

Low viscosity grade: perform as water-loss control agent in the low solid completing and cementing fluids, prevent large amount of water from mud into oil reservoirs, improve production ability from oil reservoirs. 

Construction 

concrete mixes, newly mixed mortar, gypsum, plaster

Act as water-retention agent.

Prolongs plaster’s curing and opening time, reduces skinning, slipping and sagging, increases production rate and plaster’s volume to save raw materials.
