STRATABEADS are solid glass beads designed for drilling fluid applications. They act as tiny ball bearings to reduce friction and torque within deviated wells.

STRATABEADS are inert non-abrasive beads that are complatible with both oil and water based drilling fluids.

Add to drilling fluids at 2 to 8 ppb to control torque and drag.
Use concentrations of 8 to 12 ppb for running casing.

U.S. Sieve:..................................   30 Mesh Nominal Size
Roundness:...............................   The glass beads have a minimum of 75%                                                         true spheres when tested visualy
Specific Gravity:........................   Nominally 2.50g/cc
Hardness:..................................   5 to 6
Compessive Strenght:............   20,000 psi minimum
