Dispersants and Deflocculants (Thinners) are liquid or powdered additives formulated to
control rheology and reduce the viscosity of drilling fluids. They act on clay platelets and
solids particles, preventing flocculation and improving dispersion to maintain a stable,
pumpable mud system.
APPLICATION :
Used in water-based muds to thin and condition high-solids systems, improve flow properties,
and enhance the efficiency of solids control equipment. Ideal for high-temperature,
high-salinity, and contaminated systems where viscosity and gel strengths require tight control.
ADVANTAGES :
Efficient reduction of plastic viscosity and gel strengths.
Improves mud circulation, hole cleaning, and pumpability.
Enhances filter cake quality and reduces fluid loss.
Performs well in saline and contaminated systems.
Helps maintain stable rheology over extended circulations.
Reduces dilution requirements and overall mud cost.
