Rheological Additive for drilling muds and working fluids

GENERAL INFORMATION

BENTONE 34 rheological additive is the pioneering organoclay first used by the oil service industry to take advantage of the temperature resistant rheology characteristic of organoclays. BENTONE 34 is a moderate temperature performance bentonite based organoclay. In use for over forty years, BENTONE 34 is a cost–effective product, particularly in all–oil, invert diesel and mineral oil based fluids, where sufficient shear is available to achieve full dispersion.
