Product Description
DrilRite RiteMix, Extreme Gel Viscosity - 25 Lb Pail (DF DR RITEMIXMS)
RiteMix is a gel-strength modifier specifically designed for water-based drilling fluids. This proprietary polymer enhances hole cleaning, reduces fluid loss, and alleviates annular pressure in horizontal bores. Particularly effective when drilling unconsolidated formations, RiteMix behaves like low-viscosity mud during pumping but instantly gels, allowing it to suspend and carry cuttings out of the hole.
This drilling fluid system is capable of remarkable solids suspension, yet exhibits extreme shear thinning flow characteristics.
The result is a low-solids fluid system that drills like water, yet gels almost instantly forming a unique structure that carries and suspends cuttings in "near perfect transport" while providing superior shale stabilizing characteristics.
