Product Description

CMC-LV (Carboxy Methyl Cellulose)

CMC LV is a low viscosity carboxymethylcellulose designed to reduce API filtration rate with minimum increase in viscosity in water based drilling fluids. Low viscosity carboxymethylcellulose is usually used in "thin" aqueous solutions.

Typical Physical Properties
 

Appearance	Free flowing off-white powder
Moisture Content	10% max.
PH of 1% Solution	6.0 - 8.5
Degree of substitution	0.80 - 0.95

 

Add 10.5g sample in 350ml deionized water
Viscometer dial reading at 600 r/min  in deionised water	maximum 90

Application
CMC-LV is a cost-effective additive to reduce API filtration rate of many water based drilling fluids ranging from freshwater to saturate saltwater. It helps prevent high, progressive gel. It coats the clay cuttings and reduces the hydration.
