Con-Clay EF
Formation Stabilizer / KCl Substitute
Product Overview
Con-Clay EF is an environmentally responsible, proprietary quaternary ammonium compound that is used as a temporary formation stabilizer in stimulation treatments. Clay stabilizers are generally used in aqueous fracturing fluids to temporarily stabilize water sensitive clays; preventing clay swelling and fines migration.
Recommended Application
- Con-Clay EF is generally added to stimulation fluids at concentrations of 0.5 - 2 gpt.
- Product can be diluted or added neat into the frac fluid.
- Compatibility testing is strongly recommended.
Features & Benefits
- Superior clay stabilization.
- Less toxic than TMAC.
- Tested and proven readily biodegradable.
- Easy on-site addition & long shelf life.
- Effective at low concentrations.
Safety & Environmental
- Refer to MSDS for latest and most up-to-date safety, environmental information.
- Observe normal handling and safety precautions for industrial chemicals.
Minimum Order Quantity
- 40,000 pound minimum order.
