Partially Hydrolysed Poly Acrylamide | PHPA

Partially Hydrolysed Poly Acrylamide | PHPA in Germany

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 formulated for all water-based drilling fluids. It serves multiple critical functions including 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 in drilling polymer technology. This high molecular weight polymer effectively controls fluid loss while increasing viscosity for optimal drilling performance.

PHPA is highly applicable in freshwater, seawater, saturated saltwater mud, KCl systems, and solids-free brine systems. It provides essential performance benefits including cuttings encapsulation, shale filming and inhibition, flocculation of drilled solids, viscosity enhancement, and improved lubricity. PHPA's strong encapsulating and filming action effectively stabilizes clay and shale formations, 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. Drilling fluids containing PHPA exhibit beneficial shear-thinning properties, which helps maximize drilling rate by maintaining low bit viscosity while providing high lifting capacity at the lower shear rates present in the annulus.

Advantages:

  • Functions as an Inhibitor – Coats and encapsulates formation cuttings to prevent disintegration into the mud system.
  • Restricts Water Interaction – Limits the interaction of water with hydratable and dispersible shales, preventing swelling.
  • Acts as a Flocculent – Can be effectively used as a flocculating agent in clear water drilling operations.
  • Provides Broad 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 chemical stability and effectiveness without degradation from bacterial activity.
