Description 

Description:

This super-fine bentonite powder has the consistency of cooking flour and is great for mixing with other soils, cement or additives.

SUPER GEL-X is an easy mixing, high viscosity 200 bbl yield freshwater drilling fluid produced from the highest grade Wyoming sodium bentonite. SUPER GEL-X is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals - Health Effects.

 

Recommended Uses:

May be used for all types of freshwater mud rotary drilling.

Other uses include Pond construction repair in ponds. Bentonite hydrates to 3x original size and fills in cracks and crevasses, sealing up the leaks and stop excessive water seepage. Bentonite Gel can also be applied in 1 - 2 pounds per square foot surface at the pond bottom (more in areas over 1 foot deep). This layer is then covered in several inches of soil. Once hydrated, the bentonite layer creates a protective barrier preventing seepage. Super Gel-X should not be dispersed freely in the water where aquatic life is present. The fine particles can clog the gills and lungs in some situations.


Characteristics:

• Cools and lubricates the bit

• Helps prevent loss circulation

• Highly concentrated for maximum yield

• Mixes quickly and easily

• Reduces solids and increases lifting power

• Removes cuttings

• Stabilizes boreholes

• Helps prevent loss circulation 

Packaging:

50 lb (22.7 kg) bag, 48 per pallet. All pallets are plastic-wrapped.

 

Mixing  and Application Instructions

Mixing ratios are based on 200 bbl yield material using freshwater. Level of water purity will affect bentonite performance. Prior to mixing, acidic and hard water should be treated with SODA ASH to a pH of 8.5-9.5. For best results, add SUPER GEL-X slowly through a jet/hopper mixer
