OIL WETTING AGENT
A wetting agent is a surface-active molecule used to reduce the surface tension of water. The high surface tension of water is problematic in many applications where spreading and penetration of water is required. These include for example paints and other coating formulations, detergents, pesticides, and others. Wetting Agent for oil base mud,Wetting Agent is mainly made from oil fatty acid and its poly amine salt.Wetting Agent is a powerful oil wetting agent for oil-base mud. Wetting Agent is effective in oil-wetting barite and drill solids, and in reducing the adverse effects of water contamination. Wetting agents serve as critical components to maintaining the integrity of any invert emulsion drilling fluid.
Wetting agents are designed specifically for invert emulsions (oil or synthetic-based) and oil-wet drill solids as well as commercial solids, such as barite. If a solid particle is not sufficiently oil-wet, it will agglomerate and fall out of the drilling fluid, compromising fluid stability. It is a powerful oil-wetting agent, formulated to incorporate wet or dry solids into the oil phase of oil based drilling fluids. The product has a significant thinning action where drilling fluid rheology has been created by drilled clay solids or treated clay viscosifiers.
APPLICATION OF OIL WETTING AGENT
Effectively oil-wet barite and drill solids, so as to incorporate those water-wet or dry solids into the oil phase of invert emulsion. It also has a marked thinning action in cases where high mud rheology has been created by drill solids and weighting agents. Normal treatments range from 0.5~3.0%, depending upon the wetting requirement, It is primarily a Wetting agent and A Dispersant but Functions as a Secondary Emulsifier When Weighing Up oil base systems it is used to it is used to Oil wet Barite when Large Additions are required. It works effectively over a wide temperature range. Wetting agent is consumed as it coats water-wet solids, requiring continuous addition as drilling progresses and regular treatment when adding commercial solids. OBM WET is designed to be used as a wetting agent in formulating oil based drilling fluids.
