CETCO products

Hercul-EZ is a proprietary additive that is used in conjunction with bentonite based drilling muds. With proper formulation, the system will produce a unique drilling fluid with excellent shear thinning characteristics. At low shear or at rest, the fluid will gel and allow for suspension of large cuttings, yet thins immediately under pumping conditions. At rest, HERCUL-EZ fluid looks and behaves like a semisolid, but when sheared, even slightly, will revert back to a thin, almost water-like consistency. HERCUL-EZ is designed to be compatible with CETCO bentonite-based drilling fluids. HERCUL-EZ is NSF/ANSI Standard 60, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals - Health Effects.

ACCU-VIS is a liquid copolymer designed for fast field mixing, viscosity building, and clay/shale stabilization in aqueous drilling fluids. ACCU-VIS is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60, Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals - Health Effects.

CETCO DEFOAMER is a non-ionic silicone solution designed to reduce surface tension and break foam bubbles over a wide variety of conditions.

CETCO JOINT COMPOUND is a lead-free, premium grade tool joint and drill collar lubricant for heavy duty drilling. This special mixture of the finest blend of copper flakes with a superior base gives maximum protection under extreme temperature and adverse conditions.

CETCO X-TORQUE is a 100% environmentally safe, non-petroleum lubricant specifically developed for horizontal directional drilling and mineral exploration, as well as other drilling applications. CETCO X-TORQUE attracts to metal surfaces such as drill pipe and downhole tooling to provide lubrication between these surfaces and the formation. CETCO X-TORQUE will dramatically reduce clay balling as well as rotational torque. CETCO X-TORQUE is especially beneficial in slimhole applications.

CLAY CUTTER is a concentrated, non-hazardous, proprietary clay inhibitor that can be used with either polymer or bentonite drilling fluid systems. CLAY CUTTER is an ideal additive for HDD bores in reactive clay soils.

CLAY CUTTER PRO is a dry version of the CLAY CUTTER liquid additive. This concentrated, non-hazardous, proprietary clay inhibitor can be used with either polymer or bentonite drilling fluid systems. This dry additive is cost effective and dosages are easily monitored and controlled. CLAY CUTTER PRO is an ideal additive for HDD bores in reactive clay soils.

DE-CHLOR is a white granular crystal that neutralizes chlorine in municipal water. Chlorine in water supplies can destroy polymer drilling fluids.

Insta-Clear Dry is designed to lower pH, break emulsions, and remove high levels of suspended solids. Insta-Clear Dry is a specially blended dry granular product designed for both polymer slurry and water filled boreholes. When added into either type, Insta-Clear Dry reacts instantly to settle suspended solids and decrease turbidity. Insta-Clear Dry can be added at the tank, or directly to the excavation prior to clean-out. Insta-Clear Dry clears the slurry rapidly of silt and sand build-up. It works fast for water sampling and downhole filming.

INSTA-FLOC is a high performance selective liquid flocculant used in clear water drilling and low solids drilling. INSTA-FLOC is a high molecular weight, non-ionic polyacrylamide and is extremely effective in removing fine-grained solids suspended in the slurry.
