Ferro Chrome Lignosulphonate-UNICF Deflocculant
General Description
UNIFC Deflacculant acceptable deflocculant and fluid loss additive in all types of water-based systems. Exhibits superior deflocculating ability, even in the presence of contaminants and elevated temperatures. UNIFC Deflacculant is a multi-purpose deflocculant and gel-strength reducer, temperature stabilizer, inhibitor, and filtration- control additive for use in all water-base systems-wells
Advantage
- Highly effective deflocculant and rheology stabilizer.
- Compatible with all water-based mud systems.
- Temperature tolerance in the 275° to 325°F (135° to 163°C)
- Help reduce fluid loss without high concentrations of clay or filtration control additives.
- Effectively inhibits bentonitic cuttings and/or shale hydration when used in sufficient concentrations.
- Tolerant to, and continues to function in, the presence of contaminants
- Contains the more acceptable Cr³+ chrome valence state.
Applications
As a Ferro Chrome Lignosulphonate manufacturer in India, UNIFC Deflacculant has proven to be an excellent all-purpose deflocculant and fluid-loss-control agent. It is effective for viscosity control and fluid loss-reduction in all water-base mud systems, including freshwater, brackish water, seawater, salt, lime, gyp, and potassium systems. The product has proven to have superior deflocculating capabilities, even in the presence of contaminants and elevated temperatures. Due to the product’s low pH, UNIFC Deflacculant treatments require additional caustic soda, or an alternatives alkaline material, to maintain a consistent pH. UNIFC Deflacculant is most effective in mud systems with an alkaline pHin the range of 9 to 11. For lower pH systems, the product may be premixed in a higher-alkalinity solution prior to being added to the active mud system.

Recommended Treatment
Normal treatments of UNIFC Deflacculant range from 1 to 12 lb/bbl (2.85 to 34.2 kg/m3). Initial treatments usually range from 1 to 6 lb/bbl (2.85 to 17.1 kg/m3), depending on the mud system, solids concentrations and the desired results; treatments can be added to the system through the mud hopper
Mud Performance
Limitations
- Most effective in alkaline systems with a pH of 5 or above.
- Contains chrome which may not be acceptable for all applications, depending on local environmental regulations and considerations; a chrome-free lignosulfonate is available for these applications.
