Brife Introduction

UBDrill-132 is the primary shale inhibitor of polypropylene glycol high-performance water-based drilling fluid system. It acts as a clay hydration suppressant by intercalating and reducing the space between clay platelets so that water molecules will not penetrate and cause shale swelling.

UBDrill-132 can undergo ion exchange reactions with metal ions such as sodium or potassium on the surface of clay particles and inhibiting the hydration and expansion of clay.

Shale Inhibitor High Temperature WBM Additive

UBDrill-132 is a small-molecule polyamine-based shale inhibitor, designed to effectively inhibit clay hydration and shale swelling at temperatures up to 300°F (149°C).
