PAC-LV (Polyanionic Cellulose)

Description

1. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Polyanionic cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose derivative

• Purity level: ≥ 95% active content (dry basis)

• Physical characteristics: White to off-white free-flowing powder; particle size 95% < 250 µm; bulk density 480–600 kg/m³

• Degree of substitution (DS): 0.85–1.05

• Packaging options: 25 kg multi-wall paper bags; 500–1,000 kg big bags; heat-sealed palletized shrink-wrap

• Shelf life: 24 months in dry, ambient conditions (≤ 40°C, < 70% RH)

2. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Onshore/offshore oil & gas drilling; geothermal well construction; horizontal directional drilling (HDD); mining exploration boreholes

• Specific use cases: Low-solids non-dispersed (LSND) muds; spud muds; reservoir drilling fluids (RDF); completion and workover fluids

• Performance advantage: Reduces API fluid loss by 40–60% vs. standard PAC-R or CMC at equal concentration; maintains low plastic viscosity for higher rate of penetration (ROP)

• Cost efficiency: Lower dosage requirement (1–3 kg/m³ typical) reduces total additive spend and cutting disposal costs

3. Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: Every batch tested for viscosity (Brookfield at 20 rpm), filtration (API 13A), and moisture (< 8%) – certified mill test report (MTR) included

• Supply reliability: Dual-sourced raw materials; three continent-based warehousing hubs (Americas, Middle East, Asia-Pacific) buffer against disruptions

• Logistics capability: 72-hour dispatch for LTL; 10-day lead time for full containers from filling plants

• Price competitiveness: Tier-1 performance at 15–20% lower net landed cost than legacy branded equivalents due to optimized direct-to-buyer model

• Sustainability: Chloride-free and heavy-metal-free; fully compliant with OSPAR and EPA discharge limits for offshore use

4. Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): 20 MT (full container load)

• Loading capacity: 20 MT per 20-ft dry container (palletized, 1,000 kg per pallet max)
