Oil-BASED PRODUCTS

Unigel 31 is an easy to disperse, rapidly yield organically modified bentonite used as a gelling and viscosifier for primarily synthetic oil-based drilling fluids. This improved version will function effectively in synthetic-oil base fluids.

Unigel31 is used in the 2-10lb/bbl (5.7-28.5 kg/m3) range depending on the desired viscosity properties and the type of base oil used. Also, diesel base fluids will show faster yield, so when synthetic oils are used, it is important to not over-treat the system upon initial mixing.
