Polyacrylamide emulsions are produced using reverse emulsion polymerization technology:
1. Mineral oil and emulsifier are used as the oil phase, and acrylamide aqueous solution is used as the aqueous phase.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or cellulose gum is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl group in its chain. CMC is a physiologically inert, chemically stable, odorless and tasteless substance which safe for health and environment.
PAC and CMC are used in oil drilling fluids and completion fluids. In drilling fluids, it works as viscosifier, flowing controller and filtration reducer, with strong suspending capability, high ability of carrying crumbs.
drilling fluids : types, composition & uses
Drilling fluids, also known as drilling muds, play a crucial role in the oil and gas exploration process. These specialized fluids serve multiple purposes.
