S e c t i o n 1 5 - P a g e 9 May 2013 Description QUIK-GEL GOLD TM high-yield viscosifer is a selectively mined, pr emium sodium bentonite designed for water well, minerals exploration and other industrial drilling applications. QUIK-GEL GOLD high-yield viscosifer pr ovides an optimized grind size which r esults in easy mixing and rapid hydration characteristics. The enhanced viscosity development, fltration pr operties and r esultant fuid stability make QUIK-GEL GOLD high-yield bentonite viscosifer the new benchmark in the industrial drilling applications market. Applications/Functions • Viscosify fr eshwater -based drilling fuids • Mix with fr esh water to form a low-solids drilling fuid for general drilling applications • Reduce fltration by forming a thin flter cake with low permeability • Impr ove hole-cleaning capability of drilling fuids • Mix with foaming agents to make “gel/foam” drilling fuids for air/foam drilling applications Advantages • NSF/ANSI Standar d 60 certifed • Single-sack pr oduct and cost ef fective • Optimized grind size for enhanced mixing and yield • Easy to mix and quickly r eaches maximum viscosity • Y ields mor e than twice as much drilling fuid of the same viscosity as an equal concentration of API grade bentonite Recommended T r eatment Mix slowly thr ough a jet mixer or sift slowly into the vortex of a high-speed stirr er .
