- Greenbase™ Acid Gelling Agent
Greenbase™ Acid Gelling Agent

Drilling Specialties' Greenbase™ Acid Gelling Agent is a suspension of a high-viscosity synthetic polymer that is useful in thickening hydrochloric acid, brines or fresh water. The carrier fluid for the polymer is a proprietary glycol ether-based system. It shares the excellent high-temperature stability found in the DSGA® Polymer, yet provides greater efficiency by yielding more viscosity with each pound of polymer.

Greenbase™ Suspension Technology
For many areas of operation, like marine environments, where government regulations or specific environmental factors preclude the use of mineral oil components, this new product utilizing our Greenbase™ Suspension Technology is an ideal fit.   Extensive component testing has been performed according to Oslo and Paris Commissions' (OSPARCOM) approved protocols and the results are published in the Harmonized Offshore Chemical Notification Format (HOCNF).  Testing of the Greenbase system has also been performed according to the United States' Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Methods 1664, Revision A, and 9071B for determination of oil and grease and non-polar material (NPM) in EPA's wastewater program (40 CFR part 136) and hazardous waste program (40 CFR part 260), commonly referred to as the "Oil and Grease Test".  Information about the HOCNF and the Oil & Grease Test results are available upon request from your nearest Drilling Specialties representative.
