FerroCHROME Lignosulfonate FCLS
FCLS has superior deflocculating capabilities, even in the presence of contaminants and elevated temperatures. It is effective at temperature in excess of 150 degree C, RXSOLFCLS is a good emulsifier for oil in water mud.
Application & Uses
RXSOL FCLS is a excellent Deflocculants and a fluid loss control agent for water based mud systems. It has excellent deflocculating properties at elevated temperatures and in the presence of Contaminants and Functions well in Both Salt water and Fresh water Systems effectively.
Dosage & Directions for Use
RXSOL FCLS may be added to drilling fluids either in the form of solution or powder, keeping PH between 9.5-10.5. As a thinner it is used with a dosage of 0.5-1.0%, as a fluid loss control agent its dosage should be 2-5%.

Product Description & Chemical Profile
RXSOL FCLS is 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.
RXSOL FCLS has superior deflocculating capabilities, even in the presence of contaminants and elevated temperatures. It is effective at temperature in excess of 150 Degree C
Due to the product low pH, treatments require additional caustic soda or an alternative alkaline material, to maintain a consistent pH. RXSOL FCLS is most effective in mud systems with an alkaline pH in the range of 9 to 11.
