ORGANOCLAY – WEGO 190

 

Wego 190 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for oil- based drilling mud (fluid).

 

1. Advantages:

 

o Good suspension, thixotropy and stability in crude oil, diesel oil systems.

o Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making pregel.

o Furnish the drilling mud(fluid) with good suspension, wall-protection and antifiltration properties.

o Maintain stable physical performance under the pressure of 10″ at the temperature of 230oC.
