Rxsol Tex Additive is a sodium asphalt sulfonate made water soluble by a unique sulfonation process.
RXSOL Tex Additive is a sodium asphalt sulfonate made water soluble by a unique sulfonation process. It is a versatile, total mud conditioner that stabilizes shale formations, significantly increases lubricity, and lowers HTHP water loss. Rxsol Tex Additive enhances filter cake properties in both oil-based and water-based muds. Due to unique chemistry of Rxsol Tex Additive has delivered extraordinary results in both water-based and oil-based muds.
Use for stablize shale formations, significantly increases lubricity, and lowers HTHP water loss.
Mixing : Conventional hopper when chlorides do not exceed 60,000 ppm. When adding to high salinity systems, pre-wetting Rxsol Tex Additive with fresh water by adding through chemical barrel may give best results.
