HOSTADRILL EM 17072

HOSTADRILL EM 17072 is a primary emulsifier, based on a mixture of crude tall oil derivatives in hydrocarbons (containing aromatics) for oil-based muds. It promotes stabilization of water in oil emulsions, helping with electrical stability and reducing the mud’s filtrate volume. For a good balance in the oil-based mud system, it is recommended to use HOSTADRILL EM 17072 in combination with the secondary emulsifier HOSTADRILL EM 17071, in addition of lime to obtain a calcium soap and improve system stability.
