89% Minimum Solid Content 5-25 Million Molecular Weight Anionic Polyacrylamide APAM 20-100 Mesh for Drilling Fluid

Product overview

An oil-well drilling fluid may require polymer support for viscosity development, cuttings interaction or other formulation objectives. Selecting an additive begins with defining the intended function and the operating envelope of the water-based mud, rather than choosing a generic high-molecular-weight powder.

Bluwat supplies Blufloc anionic polymer options for comparison by drilling-fluid formulators, distributors and service companies. The selected grade should be evaluated with the actual water, solids and additive package. This water-soluble APAM offering is not a direct substitute for an oil-soluble additive in an oil-based or invert-emulsion system.

Technical specifications

Grade selection for this application

Define whether the main requirement is viscosification, cuttings preservation, shale interaction or assistance within a filtration package. Provide water analysis, mud density, salinity, temperature exposure and the names of the other active additives.

Compare candidate grades against the complete fluid's acceptance criteria. Include hydration quality, rheology, filtration, aging response and handling through the site's solids-control equipment. Purchase the grade supported by these results rather than specifying only the broad 5–25 million family range.

Application evaluation and use

Solution preparation and dosing

Use clean, compatible make-up water and add the powder gradually into an established mixing flow. Avoid dumping powder in one location, which can create lumps with dry cores. The TDS gives 0.1–0.5% as general solution-preparation guidance. If specified on an as-supplied powder mass basis, this corresponds to 1–5 kg of powder per 1,000 kg of final solution; agree the concentration basis for the project.

Allow approximately one hour of agitation as a starting reference, then confirm complete hydration. Water quality, temperature, grade and equipment affect the required time. The TDS’s 200–400 rpm reference is equipment dependent and should not be scaled to a different tank solely by rpm. Avoid severe shear after hydration. Determine the final treatment dosage through the application tests described above.

Packaging storage and handling

The featured packaging is a 750 kg net big bag. Confirm unloading, metering and moisture-protection requirements for the receiving site. The TDS also lists 25 kg kraft paper or PE bags and 750 kg net big bags. Store powder dry, protected from direct sunlight and at 0–35°C. Keep opened packaging tightly closed. Consult the current SDS for handling, spill control and personal protection.
