Polyanionic Cellulose

Polyanionic Cellulose
Polyanionic Cellulose short for PAC,It is a high quality water soluble cellulose derivative. In shape of white or light yellow free-flowing powder, it is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic & non-fermented, and has good thermal-stability and high salt resistance.
Polyanionic Cellulose is soluble into water to form thick liquid, and it widely used in water-base drilling fluid so as to enhance the drilling fluid viscosity and control the fluid loss. Usually the sodium salt of Polyanionic Cellulose is in application and widely used in petroleum drilling, especially in salt well and offshore oil drilling.
Polyanionic Cellulose used in the fracturing fluid, Polyanionic Cellulose can efficiently carry ‘the filler’ into the cracks of well, establish the permeability pathway, which can effectively control the fluid into the well structure, reduce the fluid loss, and reduce the pressure drop. Ultra-high viscosity products can replace guar gum, reducing production costs.
Applications
Polyanionic Cellulose widely used in water-base drilling fluid for a variety of applications, such as filtration control, viscosity and shale inhibition.
Method of Addition
The common dosage is usually 0.2-0.6 %.
Advantages
• Compatible with most chemicals used in drilling fluids.
• Environmentally safe.
Package and storage
