HPM Clay Stabilizer is a liquid additive formulated to protect against swelling and dispersive clays and shales. It's designed as a straightforward alternative to potassium chloride (KCl), avoiding the handling, mixing, and environmental complications that come with bagged KCl.
Clay Stabilizer has low toxicity and contains no surfactants, making it a practical choice where KCl use is restricted or impractical on site. Dosage is adjusted to match the reactivity of the clay or shale formation encountered.
Advantages
Strong shale and clay inhibition when dosed correctly
Dissolves in both freshwater and high-TDS brines
Compatible with most water-based drilling fluids
