CF Desco® II Deflocculant

CF Desco® II Deflocculant is a proprietary tannin-based product used for rheology control in water-based muds. It is very effective for rheology control in areas with the strictest environmental regulations. It is effective in low concentrations without requiring the use of caustic soda.

CF Desco® II Deflocculant is used the same way CF Desco® Deflocculant is used today. CF Desco® II Deflocculant can be used in freshwater, seawater and salt water drilling fluids as a conditioner for drilling fluids used as packer fluids and in cement pre-flushes. The concentration of material used in these applications will be similar to those of CF Desco® Deflocculant. Like original CF Desco® Deflocculant, CF Desco® II Deflocculant is effective in low-pH applications.

Advantages

  • Environmentally compatible

  • Maximum deflocculation at low concentrations

  • Soluble in systems of high-salinity, high-hardness and at any pH

  • 4 to 8 times more effective than CF lignosulfonates, depending on conditions

  • Temperature tolerance in excess of 300ºF (149ºC)

  • Solution pH is 8.5± - no caustic needed to activate 

Cost

Total well costs are often lower as a result of higher product efficiency, fewer mud problems and less rig time. CF Desco® ll Deflocculant's high potency results in lower costs for trucking, inventory and handling.
