Partially Hydrolysed Poly Acrylamide(PHPA)

Partially Hydrolysed Poly Acrylamide(PHPA) in China

Filtron Envirotech (India) is a premier Manufacturer, Exporter & Supplier of Oil Drilling Chemicals and specialty Drilling Polymers. PHPA (Partially Hydrolyzed Polyacrylamide polymer) is a specially treated, high molecular weight partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide polymer designed for all water-based drilling fluids. It functions as a viscosifying agent, shale and borehole stabilizer, encapsulator, bentonite extender, flocculation agent, and also assists with fluid loss control. Our Partially Hydrolysed Poly Acrylamide (PHPA) is exported to customers in numerous countries worldwide, reflecting our global reputation for excellence. It is a high molecular weight polymer that effectively controls fluid loss and increases viscosity.

PHPA is applicable in freshwater, seawater, saturated saltwater mud, KCl systems, and solids-free brine systems. It provides essential functions including cuttings encapsulation, shale filming/inhibition, flocculation of drilled solids, viscosity enhancement, and lubricity improvement. PHPA's strong encapsulating and filming action stabilizes clay and shale formations, effectively blocks the absorption or inhibition of water from the drilling fluids, and prevents clay and shale cuttings from disintegration and dispersion into the mud while carrying them up the annulus from the bit to the surface. Fluids containing PHPA exhibit shear-thinning properties, which helps maximize drilling rate by maintaining low bit viscosity while providing high lifting capacity at the lower shear rates found in the annulus.

Advantages:

  • Functions as an Inhibitor – Coats and encapsulates formation cuttings to prevent disintegration and dispersion.
  • Restricts Water Interaction – Limits the interaction of water with hydratable and dispersible shales.
  • Acts as a Flocculent – Can be effectively used as a flocculating agent in clear water drilling operations.
  • Provides Inhibition Properties – Effective in fresh water, sea water, and even in the presence of calcium ions.
  • Improves Cuttings Removal – High viscosity of this drilling fluid enhances removal of drill cuttings from the borehole.
  • Resistant to Bacterial Fermentation – Maintains stability and effectiveness without degradation from bacterial activity.
