Application

Deva CMC-HV is used in various types of drilling fluids ranging from fresh water to saturated salt water.

Deva CMC-HV can be used to substitute part of the bentonite in order to keep the solids content low. Furthermore, Deva CMC-HV allows rheology control, filtration control, formation of thin filter cakes, protection from flocculation, lubrication of bits, suspension of cuttings and weighting materials.
