EZ-MUD®

EZ-MUD liquid polymer emulsion contains partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide/polyacrylate (PHPA) copolymer and is used primarily as a borehole stabilizer to prevent reactive shale and clay from swelling and sloughing. EZ-MUD polymer emulsion is also added to low-solids drilling fluids to increase lubricity, fluid viscosity, and to improve carrying capacity of air/foam injection fluids.

  • Stabilize reactive shale and clay formations
  • Improve drilling efficiency in Water Well, Minerals Exploration, Geotechnical, HDD and Construction Applications
  • Enhance slurry rheological properties
  • Alleviate mud rings, bit balling and booting-off in clay formations
  • Reduce drill pipe torque and pumping pressure
  • Minimize rod chatter core drilling
  • Can be used to create a “stiff-foam”
  • Flocculate non-reactive solids
  • NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
  • Mixes easily with minimum shear in fresh water
  • Helps provide effective clay and shale stabilization with lower viscosity
  • Helps impart high degree of lubricity
  • Non-fermenting
  • Breaks down chemically with household bleach (sodium hypochlorite)
