Calcium Carbonate
Calcium Carbonate COURSE/ MEDIUM/FINE is an acid soluble grinded Calcium Carbonate. It is used as a Bridging and a weighing agent used in drilling. It is used to increase mud density and is preferred to Barite as it is acid Soluble. It is grinded in three sizes Coarse, Medium, and Fine.
Applications:
Calcium Carbonate is essentially a Bridging and a weighing agent for controlling Fluid loss and Density. It can be used in both oil based and water based Fluid Systems. Calcium Carbonate Fine is used essentially as a weighing agent whereas Calcium Carbonate Coarse and Calcium Carbonate Medium is used for bridging and seepage control.
Advantages:
- Acid Soluble and helps in clean up.
- Effective bridging agent, Inert and relatively insoluble.
- Excellent Weighing agent.
Available in 3 grades: Coarse, Medium and Fine so the most suitable size can be used to Suit exact application.
