Wax Emulsion for Drilling Fluid

Wax emulsion can not only be used in drilling mud, but also widely used in the fields of coatings and inks, paper and packaging, and plastics.

In the textile and leather industries, it is used as a wear-resistant agent, lubricant, and matting agent, while the use of wax emulsion in leather can give it a better feel and can prevent stains and protect it.

It can be said that the application of wax emulsion is extremely wide.

In addition to the applications we mentioned above, it can also be applied to the ceramic industry, concrete maintenance and sealing industry, as well as adhesives, sealants, and cosmetics.

Wax Emulsion for Drilling Mud

Wax emulsion is used in drilling mud. The first role it plays is to protect the stability of the well wall, and to play a role in lubrication and reducing resistance. At the same time, it can effectively reduce its filtration loss and protect the reservoir.

The reduction of filtration loss is mainly because drilling fluid is more likely to lose drilling fluid, which affects the stability of the well body.

Therefore, we use wax emulsion to seal the gaps in the formation and form a more resilient membrane, so that the pressure membrane of the well wall is not easy to be broken.

ORGANOCLAY:

Camp Shinning – Pioneer and leader in environmental remediation

Camp Shinning is the leader and pioneer in cutting-edge environmental remediation solutions. Around the globe, our innovative teams of clay mineralogists, chemists, and polymer scientists transform ordinary minerals into extraordinary technology to solve day-to-day problems worldwide.

Organoclay is an organically modified phyllosilicate, derived from a naturally occurring clay mineral. By exchanging the original interlayer cations for organocations (typically quaternary alkylammonium ions) an organophilic surface is generated, consisting of covalently linked organic moieties. The lamellar structure remains analogous to the parent phyllosilicate.

Separation of the layers due to ion exchange, from the initial interlayer spacing of as little as 3 Å in the case of Na+ cations to the distances in the range of 10–40 Å as well as the change of chemical character of the clay surface, allows the in-situ polymerization or mixing with certain polymers to obtain what is known as nanocomposite. When ordered aluminosilicate sheets are lying parallel to each other, separated with polymer chains of certain type, the system is classified as intercalated nanocomposite. If separation of the layers is so significant, that they are no longer lying opposite to one another, but randomly ordered, then one get the exfoliated nanocomposite.

Applications

Owing to its large surface area together with hydrophobic chains emerging from the clay surface, organoclay can be used to remove oil from water. It is also applied as a component in paint formulations or as a viscosifier for oil-based drilling fluids.

It can be used in polymer chemistry as a nucleating agent.

What is Organoclay?

How Organoclay is Used and the Benefits

Organoclay is a naturally occurring material that is commonly used in water treatment. Organoclays are well known for their high removal rate of oils and other hydrophobic compounds in water. The media is a naturally occurring mineral (commonly zeolite, bentonite clay, or a smectite mineral) which is chemically alternated to create a unique surface on the mineral. Camp Shinning’s organoclay is a zeolite based organoclay which has does not swell upon exposure to water.

How does Organoclay Work?

Camp Shinning alters zeolite with a surfactant bilayer that enhances the media’s ability to remove pollutants. The surfactant bilayer is created when a quaternary amine or surfactants is added to the mineral to modify the surface commonly referred to as surface-modified-zeolites (SMZ). By modifying the surface, we create a strong affinity with either cations (positively charged ions, i.e. dissolved metals) or anions (negatively charged ions, i.e. phosphate, nitrate). The bilayer that contains hydrophobic chains will capture non-polar organics such as benzene.

Illustration of How Organoclay Works

How is Organoclay Used?

Organoclays are used in various industries including remediation, water treatment, soil treatment, in polymer chemistry, in paints as a thickening agent, grease, inks, oil drilling fluids, rheological products, cosmetics, and many more commercial and industrial applications.

What are the Benefits of Using Organoclay?

Versatile installation — Load the media in standalone units, post-treatment, or pre-treatment units. To learn more about these systems on our Water Filtration Systems Page.

Cost Savings — Organoclay is an economical alternative to other treatment technologies such as resins or Granular Activated Carbon (GAC).

Increase Efficiency — Organoclays will decrease the loading on other treatment systems and increase the life of capital equipment.

Storage — Organoclays have a long shelf life and require dry ambient environments.

Handling — Organoclays are safe and easy to use.

How is Organoclay Used in Water Treatment?

CP-200 Liquid Phase, Pure Organoclay

Organoclays are used in industrial and commercial water treatment such as:

Condensate Treatment Systems: Condensate treatment is part of every power plant, refinery, chemical manufacturer, and any facility that uses stream. Typically, the condensate is recycled back into the boiler feed water where it is routed through boiler tubes for continued boiler use.

Recycling condensate is a common practice which decreases the amount of water disposal but can be costly if not designed correctly. By not treating the condensate that goes back into your boiler feed water you are introducing high concentrations of pollutants that came off leaking pumps, valves, and piping to your boiler tubes. When these pollutants (hydrocarbons and minerals) are introduced to the boiler tubes they will deposit on the surface which will reduce the heat transfer and overall reducing the boiler efficiency.

Camp Shinning’s works with condensate treatment manufacturers and users on providing a specialty blend of filter material for treating the pollutants that are commonly found in condensate. The condensate treatment blend of filter media uses organoclay and activated carbon to trap the contaminates in its’ pore structure.

Process Water Reuse Systems: Leaking pipes, valves, vessels, or inefficient processes can leave process water tainted with low concentrations of pollutants. These pollutants over time can lead to hazardous water that needs to be hauled off site for treatment. A common use of organoclay is to treat process water onsite in a vessel to reuse the water instead of discharge it or accumulate it and haul it off-site as hazardous waste. Tainted water can lead to downtime of capital equipment and hefty bills for hazardous waste disposal. Examples of process water treatment systems might include the wash water that is used in a metal plating facility, or batch water that has low concentrations of acrylic paint thinner. Simply installing a vessel of organoclay in a process water loop can significantly reduce planned and unplanned downtime.

Organoclays are used in remediation projects such as:

Groundwater Treatment: Pump-and-Treat Systems are typically implemented when groundwater is contaminated. For pump-and-treat systems, the water is typically pumped out of the ground into a large vessel. The large vessel or series of vessels is filled with a filter media (i.e. granular activated carbon, organoclay, resin) that removes any pollutants of concern such as heavy metals or oil. The water is then put back into the ground. Pump-and-treat are cost-effective designs for treating water if you select the most appropriate filter media to target your pollutants.

Sediment Capping: Capping, also known as permeable reactive barrier , is an in-situ remediation technology that typically follows dredging operations. Organoclay is used in sediment capping due to its’ ability to isolate contaminated sediment from a surrounding aquafer or aquatic system. It is a cost-effective material for capping as it has strong affinity for removing high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metals.

Stormwater Treatment: Organoclay is used to improve water quality in stormwater runoff. Typically, pollutants found in stormwater are monitored by state regulators to ensure we have clean lakes, rivers, oceans and wetlands

Rheological Additive for Solvent Base System

CP-200 is an organic derivative of bentonite clay act as Rheological additive in low to high polarity systems. Such as Ketones, Glycol, Alcohol, Esters and Ethers, includes Polar System with some Aromatic Solvents.

Properties & Markets

Paints & Coatings : A small addition of ORGANOCLAY can greatly enhance the rheological properties of the paint system. These properties prevent pigment settling and sagging on vertical surface to ensure the proper thickness of the coating is applied. They also ensure good leveling for the removal of brush marks.

Storage stability is guaranteed even with high temperatures. ORGANOCLAY confer water resistance and structure reinforcement with no adverse effect on adhesion and solvent relese. Gloss is minimally affected due to the low levels of addition. ALL ORGANOCLAY are used widely in a vast range of solvent based paint systems

Architectural Paints : Undercoats, Primers, Semi-Gloss, Gloss and Wood Stains

Industrial Coatings : Air Drying, Stoving Enamels, Epoxies, Esters, Urethanes, Vinyls, Acrylics, Anti-Corrosive, Automotive, Bitumionous, Coil, Road Marking, Underbody Car Coatings, Nitro Cellulose and Chlorinated Rubber.

Printing Inks : With the correct ORGANOCLAY, is possible to adjust the consistency of printing inks to the desired values, avoiding pigment sedimentation, providing good color distribution obtaining desired film thickness, reduction in misting, control of track, water pick up and dot gain control. ORGANOCLAY are used in much letterpress, lithographic and offset ink.

Lubricating Greases : Thickening lubricating oils with ORGANOCLAY can produce specialty high temperature resistant lubricating greases. ORGANOCLAY also gives good working stability and water resistance to the greases. Such greases are typically used for lubrication in foundries, mills and on high speed conveyors. Other greases can be manufactured for other industries such as agriculture, aviation, automotive and mining.

Cosmetics : The performance of cosmetics is enhanced by the use of ORGANOCLAY and they allow good colour retention and coverage for nail lacquers, lipsticks and eye shadows. They have been tested to be non-irritant for both skin and eye contact.

Food Contact Applications : ORGANOCLAY are used as thixotropic agents in coatings that come into contact with food. They are also used as fillers in plastic food containers. They are acceptable under current EEC legislation on food contact additives.

Drilling Fluids : ORGANOCLAY are used extensively in drilling fluids throughout the world. They are used to suspend the heavy sealing agents, normally barytes and carry the cuttings back to the surface. They also play an important part in lubricating the drill. ORGANOCLAY can also be used as fracfluids, where the gelling ability of them is used to seal rock fractures in the bore hole.

Nanofiller for Plastic : Highly purified organoclays because of their particle size and chemical structure have the unique ability to be able to function in a wide range of monomers and polymers. The resulting properties of polymers, compounded with these unique organoclays include :

Increased Modular Strength without Sacrificing Impact Resistance
Improved Gas Barrier Properties
Increased Solvent and Heat Resistance
Improved Fire Retarding Properties

The combination of these improved properties, convenient processing and relative low costs, makes nano composites a tremendous commercial opportunity as they are superior alternatives to the current fillers used in polymer systems.

Hectorite and Bentonite based organoclay grades

Optimum activation of organoclays by ideal organoclay for highest effectivity

Correct activation for highest efficiency

❖ Optimum shear applied for proper delamination

❖ Correct use of polar activator for conventional grades

❖ Right order of addition for best processing result

organoclays can be optimized by improved process parameters including a review of the process temperature.

However, temperature control during organoclay dispersion in solvent based systems is not as important as with e.g.

organic thixotropes.

Various methods used in manufacturing formulations and procedures sometimes suffer in efficiency when order of addition and mixing conditions are less than optimum.Further, the effects of solvent resin temperature on process development and final results will be discussed.

organoclay materials are based on either

bentonite or Hectorite, both minerals from the smectite group. They consist of microfine platelet stacks that, due to their mineralogical structure, expand in water in their natural form. In order to make them compatible with non-aqueous media such as organic solvents, however, it is necessary to modify the surface of their silicate plates with quaternary ammonium compounds.

The choice of this modification and processing conditions also plays an important role in the practical applicability and performance capabilities of the finished end systems. The resulting organoclay will be dried and milled to achieve a powdered material.

To be most rheologically effective, the size of the individual platelets and the total combined edge length following their successful activation is decisive.

the Hectorite platelets are significantly smaller than the bentonite ones, the resulting edge length per gram of silicate in the Hectorite is much larger.

This makes Hectorite additives able to build up a much denser and more rheologically effective network. In order to be activated, organoclays must first be exposed to high shear forces over a defined swelling period.

What is organophilic clay?

Organophilic clay is a type of clay that has been chemically modified to be compatible with organic solvents and non-aqueous systems. It’s a viscosifier and gelling agent used in various applications, including drilling fluids, paints, and cosmetics.

[Drilling Fluids]

Clay minerals whose surfaces have been coated with a chemical to make them oil-dispersible. Bentonite and hectorite (plate-like clays) and attapulgite and sepiolite (rod-shaped clays) are treated with oil-wetting agents during manufacturing and are used as oil-mud additives. Quaternary fatty-acid amine is applied to the clay. Amine may be applied to dry clay during grinding or it can be applied to clay dispersed in water. The latter process is much more expensive, requiring filtering, drying and other manufacturing steps. Organophilic bentonite and hectorite, “bentones,” are used in oil muds to build rheology for cuttings lifting and solids suspension. They also contribute to low-permeability filter cake. Organophilic attapulgite and sepiolite are used in oil muds strictly to build gel structure, which may not be long lasting due to shear degradation as the mud is pumped through the bit.

CP-2 organophilic clay is a viscosifier and gelling agent used in VERSA oil-based and NOVA synthetic-based systems. This amine-treated bentonite is used to increase carrying capacity and suspension properties, providing support for weighting agents and improved cuttings removal. CP-2 viscosifier also aids in filtercake formation and filtration control.

Applications

CP-2 viscosifier is proven effective in drilling, coring, workover and completion fluids. The product is also effective in specialty applications such as casing packs, packer fluids and spotting fluids. Good agitation and sufficient shear are required to develop viscosity when using CP-2 viscosifier to build fresh mud.

Typical concentrations range from 2 to 10 lbm/bbl [5.7 to 28.5 kg/m3] for most drilling fluid applications, depending on the base fluid and system requirements. Mineral oils generally require higher concentrations than diesel oils. CP-2 viscosifier will not fully yield by the shear and temperature exposure in a mixing plant or mud pit. Care should be taken not to overtreat with CP-2 viscosifier until the fluid has actually circulated through the well. For system maintenance, CP-2 viscosifier should be added as needed to maintain the flow properties and gel strengths in the desired ranges. Specialty applications such as packer fluids and casing packs typically use concentrations in the 10 to 15 lbm/ bbl [28.5 to 43 kg/m3] range.

Advantages

Provides gel structure and viscosity for the suspension of weight materials

Increases viscosity for improved hole-cleaning capacity

Improves filter-cake quality and filtration characteristics

Effective gelling agent in casing packs and packer fluids

Toxicity and handling

Bioassay information is available upon request. Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions described in the safety data sheet.

Packaging and storage

CP-2 viscosifier is packaged in 50-lb [22.7-kg] multiwall paper sacks. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Store away from incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing practices regarding palletizing, banding, shrink-wrapping, and stacking.

So far I’ve had no luck finding organophilic clays like CP series in China apart from one drilling company that wanted upwards of $200 for a 25Kg bag of oil drilling product. I did a trawl of online patents to see how hard the stuff is to make.

Both these chemicals are used in fabric softeners and are available as industrial chemicals. Buying the bentonite and the surfactants above might be a bit more common compared to bentone in countries that don’t drill for oil much.

Is it going to be easy to buy these industrial surfactants than Bentone?, probably is if you can find an industrial chemical supplier who’ll sell you less than a 200 litre drum.

Organophilic Clay

Organophilic clay is a wet process improved viscosifier and gelling additive, derived from a naturally occurring clay mineral.

Feature

Organophilic clay has good performance efficiency in diesel, mineral oil and synthetic Oil; It can effectively suspends weighting materials and other solids, maintains suspension over a wide temperature range.

Application

Organophilic clay is a self-activating gallant offering rapid yield development, high gel strengths, and increased efficiency.

Organoclay Thickeners

While there are various types of non-soap grease thickeners available, polyurea, clay, and fluoropolymers are commonly employed. Organoclay, with its unique properties, offers advantages such as enhanced thickening efficiency and improved stability under different operating conditions.

The thickener component is very important in differentiating greases from fluid lubricants. Greases, unlike their fluid counterparts, exhibit a semi-solid or solid consistency due to the presence of a thickener. This thickener imparts viscosity and structural stability to the lubricating grease that is used commonly in oil field drilling industries.

Inorganic Grease Thickeners

Inorganic grease thickeners have the ability to produce non-melting greases. Non-melting greases are designed to withstand high temperatures without losing their consistency or structure. The inorganic thickeners, such as clay and silica, impart stability and heat resistance to the grease, preventing it from melting or thinning under elevated temperature conditions. This characteristic makes them particularly suitable for applications where lubrication is required in extreme operating environments, such as high-temperature machinery or equipment.

The use of bentonite clay efficiently thickens fluids and contributes to the creation of smooth, non-melting greases. The ability of inorganic thickeners to withstand high temperatures and maintain their structure. Bentonite clay minerals thickens the fluid by trapping and immobilizing the liquid within its interplatelet spaces, resulting in increased viscosity.

Right Grease Thickening System: Non-Soap Thickeners

When it comes to selecting the right grease thickening system, non-soap thickeners offer a diverse range of options, each with its unique properties and advantages.

Organoclay

Organoclay such as bentonite clay is a popular non-soap thickener. It provides excellent thickening efficiency and stability across a wide range of operating conditions. Organoclay thickeners offer enhanced performance in terms of viscosity control, resistance to shear, and improved pumpability. It can also enhance the viscosity, stability, and performance of the products. Organoclay is the most reliable non-soap thickener available in the market. Plus, it’s easy to purchase organoclay thickeners as well.

Silica

Silica is known for its ability to provide high-temperature stability. It also has great resistance to oxidation. Silica thickened greases offer excellent mechanical stability and can withstand heavy loads and extreme pressures.

Calcium Sulfonate

Exhibits excellent water resistance that makes them suitable for applications where water contamination is a concern. They offer superior rust and corrosion protection, and thermal stability.

PTFE

Polytetrafluoroethylene imparts excellent boundary lubrication and anti-wear properties to greases. It forms a thin film on metal surfaces, reducing friction and preventing metal-to-metal contact. PTFE-thickened greases are often employed in extreme temperature environments and applications.

Carbon Blacks

Commonly used in electrical and automotive applications where conductivity and heat dissipation are vital. They provide effective lubrication in high-temperature and high-load conditions.

Polyurea

Greases thickened with polyurea exhibit excellent water resistance, high-temperature stability, and long-lasting performance. They are commonly used in applications where extreme pressure and water washout resistance.

Organoclay Solvent Base Thickener

An advantage of organoclay solvent base thickeners is their ability to disperse readily in solvent-based systems. This characteristic ensures efficient and homogeneous incorporation into the paint or coating formulation without the need for complex preparation processes. The easily dispersible nature of the organoclay thickener simplifies the manufacturing and application processes of solvent base paints and coatings.

Also, incorporating organoclay solvent base thickeners, the viscosity of solvent-based paints and coatings can be effectively increased. This enhanced viscosity helps in controlling the flow behavior and sag resistance of the formulation during application. It allows for better brushability, rollability, or sprayability, depending on the intended application method, leading to improved coating uniformity and film build.

Organoclay solvent base thickeners are suitable for aliphatic and other non-polar to medium-polarity solvents. These solvents can include hydrocarbons, mineral spirits, aromatic solvents, and various other low-to-medium polarity organic compounds commonly used in solvent-based paint and coating formulations.

Applications

Organoclay thickener is a versatile additive with a broad spectrum of applications. It finds a wide range of applications across various industries due to its exceptional thickening properties. These are just few applications of organophilic clay as a thickener:

Paint Thickener

If you add and use organoclay in paint, manufacturers can achieve the desired consistency, preventing drips, runs, or excessive spreading during application. This thickener ensures better control over paint application, resulting in improved coverage, reduced wastage, and enhanced overall aesthetics. Organoclay-based paint thickeners are used in various paint types, including water-based, solvent-based, and oil-based paints.

Coating Thickener

Organoclay thickeners can be used architectural coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, and wood coatings. The addition of organoclay enhances the viscosity of the coating, enabling better film build, improved leveling, and reduced sagging. Coatings with appropriate thickness achieved through organoclay thickening exhibit improved durability, resistance to abrasion, and better protection against environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and many more.

Inks Thickener

Organoclay thickener is employed to enhance the viscosity and stability of inks. It enables controlled ink flow, prevents ink spreading or feathering on the substrate, and improves the sharpness and definition of printed images. Organoclay-based ink thickeners ensure consistent ink performance, better print quality, and increased color intensity.

Grease Lubricant Thickener

Grease is a semi-solid lubricant composed of a base oil and a thickener. Organoclay is used as a non-soap thickening agent that imparts desirable viscosity and stability to the grease. This thickener ensures that the grease adheres to surfaces, resists excessive oil separation, and provides effective lubrication in a wide range of applications. Organoclay-based grease thickeners offer excellent shear stability, water resistance, and high-temperature performance, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications like in oil field drilling mud and wastewater management.
