Ecosulfonate
is a acrylic acid copolymer
and AMPS in a water solution.
It is used as a high temperature
dispersant for water based drilling
muds (WBM’s). It is used
to control the viscosity and
gels strengths of WBM’s
that have high solids concentrations.
Ecosulfonate
adsorbs onto the surface of
clay platelets, preventing the
flocculation off bentonite particles
at high temperatures (up to
430F500F). Ecosulfonate
tolerates seawater, NaCL and
KCL. |
