Product Description
Applications Primarily used as a shale inhibitor as the potassium ion exchanges with calcium and sodium ions n the interlayer space in elites and steatites, converting them to more stable mica-type structures that do not hydrate and swell.
Used to prepare brines for drill-in, completion, and workover fluids.
Advantages Widely used in the industry. Largely benign salt; solutions are neutral pH.
Does not significantly impair performance of polymers such as viscosifiers and filtration controllers.
