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 BENTONITE HV™ is a modified, high quality grade bentonite formulated to ensure a high quality bentonite mud can be mix with ease. AMC BENTONITE HV™ provides viscosity and gelling to most water based fluids while also contributing to fluid loss control.
AMC CAP 21™ is a rapidly yielding, high molecular weight polymer in liquid form that viscosity without the problems associated with mixing powdered polymers. AMC CAP 21™ will help improve core recovery, particularly in clays and shales and highly fractured formations. It provides cuttings encapsulation as well as helping to stabilise the formation. When used in a bentonite fluid AMC CAP 21™ helps form a thin, tough filter cake that aids in controlling fluid loss.
AMC AEROFOAM™ is a biodegradable mixture of anionic surfactants which has been formulated for use in the mineral and water well drilling industries.
