DESCRIPTION - Fritz FL-18 is a synthetic polymer used to control the loss of filtrate from water-based drilling fluids. FL-18 displays exceptional performance in fresh, salt and KCl water-based fluids.
ADVANTAGES
• FL-18 provides exceptional filtrate control at temperatures up to 400°F (204 C).
• Test data indicates that FL-18 is 20 to 30% more effective than other commercially available high temperature fluid loss additives for water-based mud systems.
APPLICATION
• FL-18 has a viscosifying effect on water-based fluids.
• It is ideally suited for most high temperature water-based fluid applications.
• FL-18 should interact well with all other drilling fluid additives.
PROPERTIES
• Off-White Powder
• Specific Gravity – 1.34
• Activity – 100%
• pH – neutral
• Packaged in 50 lb. bags
• Loading Rate – 2 to 10 lb./bbl
