Clay Hydration Suppressant (Polyamine)

A polyamine-based clay hydration suppressant designed for water-based drilling fluids. The product interacts with reactive clay and shale surfaces to reduce water uptake, swelling and dispersion, helping maintain cuttings integrity and improve wellbore stability when drilling through water-sensitive formations.

Used in: Water-based drilling muds; shale and clay-rich formations; drilling programs requiring enhanced inhibition and cuttings stability.

Why it is used: To suppress clay hydration and swelling, reduce shale dispersion and support a more stable wellbore during drilling.

Key functions / benefits

• Reduces clay swelling and hydration
• Helps improve shale and cuttings stability
• Supports cleaner hole conditions and reduced dispersion

Typical form: Liquid

Suggested packing*: 50 kg / 200 kg HDPE drums; IBC/bulk on request
