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.

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

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.

Origin

Polysorbate-60 may be traced back to its original chemical makeup as well as the manufacturing procedure that it went through. Polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate, or more often known as polysorbate-60, is a kind of sorbitan ester. This substance is an ethoxylated molecule that can be produced by reacting ethylene oxide, sorbitol, and stearic acid in a chemical reaction.

Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid. This serves as a crucial component in the production of Polysorbate 60. It is obtained from vegetable oil derivatives such as rapeseed or palm oil. This natural origin is essential as it contributes to the overall safety and suitability of polysorbate 60 in food manufacturing and processing industry.

To create Polysorbate 60, stearic acid is first reacted with sorbitol, resulting in the formation of sorbitan monostearate. Sorbitan monostearate is then subjected to a condensation reaction with ethylene oxide. This process leads to the ethoxylation of sorbitan monostearate which transforms it into Polysorbate 60 in yellow-amber color.

Polysorbate 60 Formula

The Role and Effect of Polysorbates 60

Polysorbate-60 is primarily used for its ability to blend water and oil together effectively. It significantly improves the emulsification and lubricity. Its water solubility makes it an environmentally safe and friendly ingredient. Its ability to blend water and oil, stabilize emulsions, and enhance product texture makes it a valuable ingredient.

Surfactant

As a surfactant, Polysorbate-60 lowers the surface tension of the skin when used in shampoos and body washes. This property allows it to help wash away body dirt and impurities. This promotes effective cleansing and leaving the skin feeling fresh and clean. It can help to effectively lifts away dirt, sweat, and sebum with any other oil-based impurities that have accumulated on the skin or hair. The surfactant forms tiny droplets called micelles that encapsulate the oils and dirt. These allows them to be rinsed away easily with water.

Emulsifier

Emulsifiers are crucial for stabilizing emulsions. This ensures that oil and water do not separate and form distinct layers. Polysorbate prevents fat globules from agglomerating in cosmetic products. This is valuable in creating stable emulsions in creams, lotions, and other products with a combination of oil and water components. This is essential for creating stable and well-blended formulations in various cosmetic products.

Solubilizer

Polysorbate 60 also acts as a solubilizer, allowing certain ingredients that are otherwise not water-soluble to disperse and dissolve in water-based solutions. This solubilizing property enhances the compatibility of various components in cosmetic formulations, leading to better product performance and a smoother texture. It allows the inclusion of beneficial hydrophobic ingredients that contribute to the product’s performance, such as natural plant extracts or essential oils.

FDA Specifics

The FDA has established specific guidelines for the use of polysorbate 60 in food products. These guidelines outline the maximum allowable amounts of Polysorbate 60 in different food categories to ensure consumer safety and product quality.

Polysorbate 60 can be used as an emulsifier in whipped edible oil toppings. However, the maximum amount of Polysorbate 60 used should not exceed 0.4 percent of the weight of the finished whipped edible oil topping. When used alone, the maximum amount of Polysorbate 60 in cake or cake mix should not exceed 0.46 percent, based on a dry-weight basis.

Polysorbate 60 can be used alone in nonstandardized confectionery coatings or standardized cacao products, but the maximum amount used should not exceed 0.5 percent of the weight of the finished product. The maximum amount of polysorbate60 used should not exceed 0.3 percent of the weight of the finished dressings. Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate can be used to impart greater opacity to sugar-type confection coatings as well but should not exceed 0.2 percent of the weight of the finished sugar coating.

Is Polysorbate 60 Safe?

The quantity of polysorbate 60 that is used in skin care products may significantly affect how safe the ingredient is. investigations have revealed that quantities of 5% or more may cause irritation to the skin; however, other investigations with larger concentrations of up to 15% have not showed an irritating or hypersensitive reaction from the skin. Polysorbate 60 is regarded as being harmless to the skin at concentrations lower than 5%, and a concentration of 1% is regarded as being non-irritating to the skin.

Polysorbate 60 must be used in a manner that complies with all of the FDA’s rules if it is to be used in the food sector. Polysorbate 60 is regarded as being fit for human consumption when it is used in food items within the parameters that have been established by the FDA.

After conducting an investigation, the Expert Panel on Cosmetic Ingredients Review found that Polysorbate 60 is suitable for use in cosmetics and other personal care items without posing any health risks. On the other hand, the fact that this substance contains ethylene oxide has raised some worries regarding its safety. According to the National Toxicology Program, the process of ethoxylation that takes place during the production of Polysorbate 60 has the potential to result in contamination with 1,4-dioxane, which is a substance that has the ability to cause cancer. Polysorbate 60 may be used risk-free in topical skincare products provided that it is utilized in accordance with all applicable rules and at the right doses.

Polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate Alternatives

In the creation of skincare products, Polysorbate 60 is interchangeable with a wide variety of other substances, depending on the nature of the particular use and the qualities that are sought for. The combination of cetearyl alcohol and cetearyl glucoside may be used in the manufacture of skincare products as an emulsifier. Cetearyl Alcohol is an example of a fatty alcohol that is obtained from natural sources such as coconut or palm oil, while cetearyl glucoside is an example of an emulsifier that is created from sugar.

You may also use natural emulsifiers called Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, both of which are produced from olive oil. These emulsifiers are natural and efficiently imitate the structure of the lipid layer that is found on the skin. They provide a great compatibility with the skin, which gives moisture for the enhancement of the formulation’s texture in skincare products.

The emulsifying characteristics of Glyceryl Stearate, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, and Cetearyl Alcohol are augmented by the qualities of Cetearyl Alcohol, which are obtained from plant oils and fatty acids. Additionally, Cetoaryl Wheat Straw Glycosides, which are generated from wheat straw, have the potential to enhance the texture of a variety of skin care products when combined with cetearyl alcohol thanks to their synergistic effect.
