UNI-PHPA HDD Polymer in Lake Zurich, IL, USA

UNI-PHPA-partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide is used for drilling in cohesive soil (inactive and active clay) for the purpose of clay fraction encapsulation, well cleaning and prevention of adhesion on the tooling;
UNI-PHPA is a readily dispersible product designed to provide cuttings encapsulation and shale stabilization.
It is formulated for easy mixing with improved dispersion to eliminate “fish eyes.” This is beneficial when rapidly mixing either large quantities or high concentrations of the polymer where good mixing equipment is unavailable. UNI-PHPA acts as a viscosifier, friction reducer, and flocculant. It also provides some fluid-loss control.
