CHIMIQUE ™ FH SERIES OF PRODUCTS:
CHIMIQUE™ FH products are Pure nonionic derived the endosperm of guar polysaccharide ( Cyamopsos tetragonolobus ). The FH range of products are excellent viscosifiers for oil-drilling, work over fluids and several other oilfield applications like Drilling fluids and hydraulic fracturing, well capping, flocculent and liquid shoring etc. The products are unique with ultra high viscosity with fastest hydration characteristics as shown in Figure 1 below. Also, when added with other drilling components, to seawater, a KCl solution or other aqueous system, the product suspension disperses readily without lumping, even under low-shear conditions generating most of its full viscosity within just a few minutes.

PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY :
CHIMIQUE™ FH series of products are compatible with most of the chemicals and auxiliaries used in drilling operations. However, the products are not compatible with Arabic and Crystal gums. Also, in presence of borates they form elastic gel. In presence of high concentration of acid and alkaline chemicals, they undergo oxidative and hydrolytic degradation resulting in lowering of solution viscosity.

THE PRODUCT APPLICATIONS :
CHIMIQUE™ FH series of products are natural, high viscosity, fast hydrating non-Newtonian hydrocolloids with suitable cross linking components in diesel slurries and are versatile for continuous mix applications, where extremely fast hydration and subsequent viscosity development is required. They are excellent viscosifiers, stabilizers, thickeners and suspending agent for use in oil-drilling, workover fluids and several other oilfield applications like hydraulic fracturing, oil well stimulation, mud drilling, oil well capping, flocculent and liquid shoring etc. The product forms excellent low viscous slurry in diesel making it easy for pumping into the fracture to “prop” it open after the hydraulic pressure is relieved. The product is used as a surfactant; synthetic polymer and deformer ideally suited for all rheological requirements of water based and brine based drilling fluids.

STORAGE STABILITY
The
CHIMIQUE™ FH series of products do not contain any fungicidal preservative. In dry form, they are stable for 4-6 months provided the standard storage conditions are adhered. Increase in ambient humidity leads to bacterial infection and loss of material quality and viscosity. In paste form, they are reasonably stable. By addition of suitable stabilizers, if required, the paste stability would be augmented
