Product Description
A chemical used in preparation and maintenance of an oil or synthetic-base drilling fluid that forms a water-in-oil
emulsion (invert emulsion). An oil-mud emulsifier lowers the interfacial tension between oil and water, which allows
stable emulsions with small drops to be formed. Historically, oil-mud emulsifiers have been classified as primary and secondary. Secondary emulsifiers are generally not used alone to make a stable oil mud. These emulsifiers surround water droplets, like an encapsulating film, with the fatty acid component extending into the oil phase. Emulsifier molecules that cannot fit around drops form clusters (micelles) in the oil phase or adsorb onto solids. Oil-mud emulsion drops each behave like a small osmotic cell. The emulsifier around the drops acts like a semi permeable
membrane through which water can move but ions cannot pass. Thus, oil muds have the special capability (which
water muds do not have) to control water transfer to and from the drops simply by adjusting salinity within the water
phase of the oil mud
However, conventional OBMs have two drawbacks which cannot be ignored: One is their high costs, and the other
is their adverse impacts on the environment. Since 1990s, environmental laws and regulations in many countries have been becoming stricter. This reduced the usage frequency of conventional OBMs sharply. As an appropriate response to this, environmentally friendly emulsifiers were developed. Not only can they provide operational performances like conventional OBMs, but also they have low toxicity and good biodegradability
We manufactures a range of green oil-mud emulsifiers which have been classified as primary and secondary. ICC-GSEMUL is a proprietary surfactant blend for use as a secondary emulsifier in invert drilling mud systems
ICC-GSEMUL is a liquid blend of selected secondary emulsifier and wetting agent. It is used to emulsify water into oil
in oil /diesel based drilling fluids It provides excellent emulsion stability, acts as a wetting agent, gelling agent and fluid
stabilizer in a mineral oil base. It is also used for filtration control and for temperature stability
ICC-GSEMUL is a secondary invert emulsifier based on a chemically modified. ICC-GSEMUL is oil soluble, water dis-
persible and is compatible with most products employed in oil based drilling fluids
ICC-GSEMUL uses diesel/alcohol solvent, but can be formulated in low toxic solvent for more environmental control
and is coded as ICC-GSEMUL
ICC-GSEMUL when used in conjunction with ICC-PEMUL will give stable invert mud that eliminates or reduces the
need for additional fluid loss control additives
ICC-GSEMUL emulsifier is both a secondary emulsifier and oil-wetting agent suitable for use in diesel oil based drill-
ing fluid systems. ICC-GSEMUL emulsifier has minimal alkalinity requirements. When ICC-GSEMUL emulsifier is
used in conjunction with ICC-PEMUL emulsifier, high temperature stable invert emulsions with low filtration rates
can be obtained
ICC-GSEMUL functions as a secondary emulsifier. Additional benefits include improved thermal stability and HTHP
filtration control. ICC-GSEMUL wetting agent is effective over a wide temperature range, in the presence of contaminants, and is reducing the adverse effects of water contamination
This product is not classified as a hazardous substance, ICC-GSEMUL must be handled as an Industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as mentioned in the MSDS
ICC-GSEMUL has shelf life of at least six months from the data of manufacture when stored in the original sealed containers in a cool and dry place
ICC-GSEMUL is packaged in 220 Lit polyethylene or steel drum s. Customized packaging is also available on request. ICC-GSEMUL 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. Keep in original container and tightly closed

ICC-GSEMUL is used as a secondary emulsifier providing excellent and very stable emulsion and oil wetting agent. It contributes to temperature stability
and HTHP filtration control and is most effective over a wide range of temperatures and also in the presence of contaminants. It provides viscosity and filtration control and temperature stability.
ICC-GSEMUL is an excellent emulsifier for water in oil drilling fluids and may be used with a variety of brine emulsions. ICC-GSEMUL is designed to improve the stability of emulsions, aid in gel strength control and improve the fluid loss characteristics of drilling fluids
ICC-GSEMUL exhibits excellent performance with regard to range of temperatures and contaminants. ICC-GSEMUL can be employed as a single emulsifier, however it is usually recommended that it be used in conjunction with a primary emulsifier such as ICC-GSEMUL or a wetting agent
ICC-GSEMUL is a concentrated secondary emulsifier used for formulating invert drilling fluids. It will provide high emulsification and good oil wetting properties ICC-GSEMUL is commonly used with primary mud emulsifier such as ICC-GSEMUL
ICC-GSEMUL offers emulsion stability as well as high temperature tolerance and resistance to contamination
ICC¬GSEMUL does not require lime, however the use of lime will enhance the emulsion stability and the HTHP Fluid Loss. Mix according to standard mixing procedure. A primary emulsifier is required to form a stable emulsion
ICC-GSEMUL promote oil-wetting in invert emulsion systems
ICC-GSEMUL improve electrical stability measurements
ICC-GSEMUL Reduce flow properties of invert emulsions
ICC-GSEMUL additive functions as the wetting agent and secondary emulsifier, when used in combination with the ICC-GSEMUL
ICC-GSEMUL additive preferentially wets barite and drill solids to prevent water wetting of solids. Secondary functions include: improves thermal stability, rheological stability, filtration control and emulsion stability as well as improves a system’s resistance to contamination
