ICC-Glycol MC

ICC-Glycol MC must be handled as an Industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precau­tions as mentioned in the MSDS
ICC-Cloud Point: The temperature at which a solution of a surfactant or glycol starts to form micelles (molecular ag­glomerates), thus becoming cloudy. This behavior is cloudy. This behavior is characteristic of nonionic surfactants, which are often soluble at low temperature but “cloud out “at some point as the temperature is raised
Glycols demonstrating this behavior are known as “cloud-point glycols” and are used as shale inhibitors. The cloud point is affected by salinity, being generally lower in more saline fluids
The purported mechanism is that the glycol clouds out at higher down hole temperatures, coating the surface of clays and preventing hydration
Cloud Point glycol exhibit clouding behavior when used in salt solutions. Clouding behavior results from change in water or brine solubility of the glycol with temperature. Cloud formation is dependent upon salt concentration and concentration of the glycol itself, as well as temperature and the pressure
The cloud point glycol series covers a range of low, medium and high cloud point temperatures suitable for brine salini­ties of seawater, to the most common 15 percent NaCI-based fluids to saturated salts
ICC-Glycol MC is a medium cloud point additive designed for medium to high salinity polyglycol systems
ICC-Glycol MC is a water miscible medium cloud point glycol of low toxicity and a multifunctional additive for drilling fluids. It is used in water based drilling fluids to improve lubricity and shale stability and extends the temperature stabil­ity and high temperatures filtration control. It can be used in most water based mud systems
ICC Manufactures a range of high performance polyglycol based shale stabilizers
ICC-Glycol MC is medium grade cloud point glycol. It is a free flowing liquid, without dirt and other visible foreign sus­pended matter and has a mild odor. It is primarily used in KCL and PHPA muds
ICC-Glycol MC polyalkylene glycol is a broad cloud point and wide molecular weight rang additive designed for medium to low salinity polyglycol mud systems. It delivers improved shale stability, lubricity, high temperature filtration control, while reducing dilution rates and bit balling. While polyglycols are most effective when used in conjunction with an inhibi­tive salt in non-dispersed polymer systems, they can be used as additives in most water based systems
This shale inhibitor intercalates and reduces the space between clay platelets so that water molecules will not pen­etrate and cause swelling

ICC-Glycol MC has shelf life of at least one years from the data of manufacture when stored in the original sealed containers in a cool and dry place

ICC-Glycol MC Store in dry, well ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Store away from incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing practices regarding palletizing, banding, shrink- wrapping and /or stacking
ICC-Glycol MC is packaged in 200 kg net wt. Polyethylene or steel drum

CC-Glycol MC is used in conjunction with an encapsulating polymer (PHPH) and brine phase KCI. It can meet vari­ous drilling challenges, ideal for use in high angle drilling, extended rich drilling, deep and sub salt applications Medium cloud point Glycol is used in medium to high salinity Polyglycol systems
ICC-Glycol MC has application in polyglycol systems in fresh to medium or high salinity make up water and can be used in wells with a moderate form of temperature. When used properly, this medium cloud point additive helps to stabilize troublesome shales by plugging shale pores, preventing the equalization of hydrostatic pressure away from the wellbore
Polyglycol systems are generally low to medium density, non-dispersed polymer systems utilizing an Electrolyte to active the cloud point polyglycol. They have application where troublesome water sensitive shales are to be drilled, and can be used in lieu of oil base systems for certain applications
ICC-Glycol MC Polyglycol can be used in thermally activated mud emulsion applications (near the cloud point) or in situation where it is insoluble (above the cloud point)
