MAX GEL - data sheets »

This Bentonite softens the mixing-water. OCMA Bentonite forms a filter cake and gives viscosity. You can combine it really good with other fluids and additives. You can regulate arbitrarily the viscosity and the outcoming water of the filter adding the right polymers. OCMA Bentonite is really good to produce Bentonite sands, to construct mineral seals. Recommended applications:

• To make a Bentonite basic flushing
• To form a thin filter cake
• To improve the stability of the flushing
• To improve the stability of the borehole
• To make a mineral sealing
• To drill (vertical)
• One-way-pallets 1To. 40 x 25 kg sacks

MAX BORE HDD is produced and developed especially for the different needs in controlled horizontal drilling. Typical physical properties:

Apparence:                       light beiges - grey-green powder
Specific weight                  2,3 – 2,6
Apparent density               769 -833 kg/m³

Application
MAX BORE HDD improves the viscosity and the stability of the borehole, reduces loss of water and improves the lubrication. Typical quantities for MAX BORE HDD : from 18 to 35 kg/m³.

Advantage

• You can make a economic one-sack-flushing of the borehole
• Less solids in the flushing agent for the borehole
• Forms a thin filter cake
• Improves the stability of the borehole flushing
• Reduced times for expanding and mixing
• High yield
• Not toxic, without substances that are dangerous to the environment

Recommended application with fresh water
brickearth, fine sand                   20 - 30 kg/m³
sand                                        25 - 35 kg/m³
thick sand, gravel                       30 - 45 kg/m³

You should mix MAX BORE HDD possibliy with a hopper or with a high-speed mixer, so you get the best yield. Add the product slowly and constantly, after about 10 min. it begins to swell. Before you mix you should analyse the water you add chemically, for instance PH value, water hardness and salt content, which all have a great influence to the yield. If necessary you should treat first the mixing water with soda ash.

Limitations
If you mix with salty water (>10 mg/L CI-) or hard water (>240 mg/L Ca++) you reduce the yield of the product.

Packing

• 25 kg paper bags on one-way-paletts, encased with PE-film
• 40 bags pro palett
• Big bags with 650 or 1.000 kg
