Product Overview

What BRSCMC Is

Also known as: Carboxymethylcellulose, CMC, Sodium CMC, Cellulose Gum.

BRSCMC is an anionic cellulose ether with a macromolecular structure. It is an odorless, tasteless, and non toxic white or slightly yellowish free flowing powder that dissolves readily in water to form a high viscosity colloidal solution.

What It Does

In drilling fluids, BRSCMC acts as a viscosifier, flow control agent, and filtration reducer. It provides strong cuttings suspension capacity, cleans the borehole, stabilizes the wellbore, protects the drill bit, and forms a thin, low permeability filter cake.

Key Features & Advantages

Low dosage with exceptionally high yield
Good salt tolerance & antibacterial resistance
Combines fluid loss reduction with viscosity boost
Strong cuttings suspension & flow control capability
Environmentally friendly, non-toxic & odorless
Good fluidity convenient to mix & handle
Where It Is Used

Typical Drilling Applications

Non dispersed drilling fluidsCarries cuttings, inhibits clay dispersion, stabilizes the wellbore, and increases drilling rate.
Dispersed drilling fluidsStrong solids suspension; ideal for high density fluids; forms a thin, compact mud cake and reduces fluid loss.
Calcium treated fluidsExcellent calcium resistance; prevents excessive clay flocculation and maintains stable rheology.
Salt water & saturated brine fluidsLow salt sensitivity; fast rheology adjustment at low dosage; minimizes damage to the pay zone.
Potassium based fluidsLow sensitivity to potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts; efficiently adjusts rheology and cleans cuttings.
Polymer & low solids fluidsGood polymer compatibility; maintains low solids and low clay dispersion; effective filtration control.
Environmentally sensitive operationsNon toxic, odorless, and biodegradable; low fluid maintenance cost; harmless to surrounding flora.
Completion & packer fluidsImproves slurry fluidity with low filtration loss; protects wellbore in clean brine packer systems.
Fracturing fluidsBuilds viscosity quickly, carries proppant into fractures, and reduces fluid loss; residue free.
Granulated & instant gradesDust free and fast dissolving; rapid dispersion even under rugged field conditions.
