FILTRATION CONTROL ADDITIVE
Product Description
BaraFLC® W-403 (formerly BDF™-403) filtration control additive is a modified and bacterially stabilized tapioca
starch that provides viscosity buildup in water-based drilling fluids. Through its coating mechanism, BaraFLC W-
403 filtration control additive reduces dispersion of clay particles and stabilizes reactive formations.
Applications/Functions
Advantages
Typical Properties
Recommended Treatment
To reduce filtration in drilling fluids, add 2-6 lb/bbl (5.7-17.1 kg/m3) of BaraFLC W-403 filtration control additive
slowly through the hopper.
Note: Small amounts of CELLEX™ filtration control agent or PAC™ viscosity control additive will complement
BaraFLC W-403 filtration control additive in fresh and salt water drilling fluids.
BaraFLC W-403 filtration control additive is incompatible with BARASCAV™ D™ and BARASCAV™ L™
oxygen scavengers.
