UNI-GEL HDD Bentonite

Physical appearance	Light tan/gray-green powder
Specific gravity	2.3-2.5
Approximate yield	220 bbl/ton

Uni-Gel viscosifier is used in the following applications to rapidly build mud viscosity and provide superior hole cleaning, as well as to help control lost circulation, formation sloughing and promote hole stability in unconsolidated formations:

• Potable-water wells/li
• Mineral exploration (coring and rotary drilling)/li
• Horizontal directional drilling/li
• Blast holes/li
• Shaft drilling/li
• Monitor/observation wells/li
• Gel-foam, air-drilling applications

• Yields more quickly than API-standard bentonite/li
• Non-toxic and proven suitable for use in drilling potable water wells/li
• Higher penetration rates than regular bentonite systems due to a lower solids content
• Reduced transportation and storage costs as a result of less product required for treatment/li
• Finer grind to enable rapid mixing

Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions described in the Material Safety Data Sheets

Store in a dry location and well-ventilated area away from sources of heat or ignition
