FAQ

CX GEL is designed to build a wall cake / membrane around the borehole wall to keep it open, so we can drill and recover the core.

CHP increases viscosity to clean the bit face from cuttings and clear the hole — lifting cuttings on the outside of the drill pipe and inside the borehole to prevent differential sticking, stuck rods and wall wash-out.

CX TROL is designed for filtrate / water-loss control and also helps hold the core together. It works very well in combination with GEL and CHP.

THN reduces bit balling from the drill-rod face and breaks down clays to reduce clay collaring around the rods, helping keep the bit on the bottom of the hole for better penetration.

POLY XCD holds the core together and helps keep the hole open in very difficult drilling conditions, thanks to its excellent suspension properties.
