Viscosifier
Application and advantages
SMG2 is an organically modified bentonite used as a gelling and viscosifying agent , this improved version will function effectively in synthetic-oil based drilling fluids. SMG2 is used in the 2-10lb/bbl (5.7-28.5 kg/m3) range depending on the desired viscosity properties and the type of base oil used. Also, diesel base fluids will show faster yield, so when synthetic oils are used, it is important to not over-treat the system upon initial mixing.
