Alcomer 74 is a thermally stable deflocculant used to control rheology in drilling fluids. It is an acrylate co-polymer alternative to heavy metal lignosulphonates that is dispersible in water, with a pH of 7.0-7.5. Alcomer 74 reduces viscosity and gel strength while providing improved rheology control at high temperatures and solids levels. It is effective across pH ranges and drilling fluid types to instantly impact rheology. Concentrations of 0.3-3.0 kg/m3 are used depending on solids content.

Alcomer 74 is a highly efficient, thermally stable deflocculant or thinner with improved
capabilities in high solids and contaminated muds. It is a cost effective, environmentally acceptable alternative to heavy metal lignosulphonates, lignites and tannins.
PROPERTIES
Physical Chemical
Appearance: White micro bead Type: Acrylate co-polymer
Alcomer 74 functions primarily as a rheology control agent by reducing viscosity and gel strengths. It has been designed to offer increased thermal stability (260C) and provide better rheology control and cost efficiency than Alcomer 72L when drilling green cement, salt or anhydrite stringers. Its effectiveness has been proven in fresh water gel, K+ polymer, gyp, and saturated salt muds. Alcomer 74 is effective at any pH and due to its rapid dissolution, immediately affects the rheology of a drilling fluid. Alcomer 74 will also function as a gel suppressor and help reduce the fluid loss in most mud systems. A highly concentrated "pill" of Alcomer 74 will induce wall cake breakdown prior to completion, cementing or stimulation operations. Dose requirements are typically 1/4 that of lignosulphonate with the actual amount required dependent upon the amount of solids present in the system. Alcomer 74 has also been found to be a very effective thinner in carbonate/bicarbonate and sulphate contaminated muds where conventional thinners have little or no effect. Concentrations range from 0.3-3.0 kg/m3.
MIXING AND HANDLING
Alcomer 74 should be added directly to the mud system through the mixing hopper. Store away from acids. It is advisable to use a dust mask and eye protection while mixing all products. Alcomer 74 is slippery when spilled and should be cleaned up with an absorbent material.
