Friction Reducer Additive
Description
AUSFRACSLICK 200 is a high molecular weight copolymer designed to perform well in a wider variety of waters, allowing for the inventory of fewer products in the warehouse. AUSFRACSLICK 200 is an anionic polymer emulsion that breaks quickly in high brines (unlike most emulsion products) and is useful in various industrial applications, such as industrial water and wastewater clarification, lubrication in drilling mud, thickening, and as a friction reducer additive.
AUSFRACSLICK 200 gives superior friction reduction in waters that range from fresh to high brines (KCl and NaCl brines) to meet the wide variety of field fluid packages required for oilfield stimulation and workover activities. API brine tests also reveal a tolerance for brines containing a high level of divalent ions (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, etc.).
Application & Usage
Recommended dosage levels range from 0.25 – 1.0 gal. of AUSFRACSLICK 200 per 1000 gal. of water, with a reduction in friction pressures by greater than 70 – 80%. Testing is strongly recommended to determine the optimum load rates for each particular use. This product should not be used neat. Use positive displacement pumps (gear or progressive cavity).
