AMC BARITE™ is a high quality barium sulphate (BaSO4) micronized to meet API 13A specifications and is used to increase mud density in all types of drilling fluid systems, oil or water based.
AMC BARITE™ is chemically inert to all drilling fluids additives and is used to increase the density of any drilling fluid system. AMC BARITE™ is added to a mud system to help control formation pressures, stabilise the borehole or used in kill fluids.
AMC BARITE™ is added through a mud hopper or suitable shearing device. The amount of AMC BARITE™ required to increase the fluid density can be calculated using the following formulas:
AMC BARITE, kg / m³ = 4200 (w2 – w1) / 4.2 – w2
w1 = Initial mud weight in specific gravity
w2 = Desired mud weight in specific gravity
Appearance: Tan powder
Specific Gravity: 4.2

AMC 1300™ is a liquid non-ionic polymer specifically designed to perform in fresh water, saline environments and calcium chloride brines. AMC 1300™ will provide viscosity while also providing some lubrication to the drilling fluid resulting in improved hole stability and core recovery in broken, friable formations.
AMC BENTONITE PELLETS R30™ are compressed tablets made from highly swelling sodium bentonite coated with a biodegradable non-sticking film that retards the hydration time and when placed forms a flexible, non-toxic impermeable seal. AMC BENTONITE PELLETS R30™ has the advantage of achieving greater depths due to the unique coating that slows down the hydration process.
AMC BIODEGRADABLE ROD GREASE™ is a biodegradable non-toxic grease formulated from vegetable oils, specialised tackifiers and thickening agents to produce a very stable compound suited for diamond drilling applications in areas where environmental protection is of paramount importance. AMC BIODEGRADABLE ROD GREASE™ contains no mineral oils, heavy metals, barium, environmentally unfriendly solvents, PSB’s, copper or zinc compounds. Through enhanced surface sticking characteristics AMC BIODEGRADABLE ROD GREASE™ offers superior performance to reduce vibration and frictional drag between the rod and casing or rock strata.
