PRODUCT BULLETIN

ID-PAC SR
ID-PAC SR polyanionic cellulose is a fluid loss and viscosity-control additive. ID-PAC SR agent is a high viscosity
semi-pure grade quality PAC useful in controlling filtration and increasing rheology in all types of water, but
has greater effectiveness in saltwater-base brines. ID-PAC SR additive will aid in dispersion control by attaching
and encapsulating the drill solids. It may be used at all density ranges, and functions effectively in dispersed
and non-dispersed systems.

Typical Physical Properties

Physical appearance White powder

Specific gravity 1.5-1.6
pH (1% solution) 6.5 to 8.0

Application

ID-PAC SR additive control fluid loss in fresh water, sea water, KCl, and saltwater drilling fluid systems. ID-PAC
SR agent aids in the formation of a tough, thin filter cake to minimize the potential for differential sticking.
Recommended treatment with ID-PAC SR is from 0.5 to 2.5 lb/bbl (1.4 to 7.1 kg/m3) depending on the water
type and the salt level to control fluid loss.
ID-PAC SR is useful in viscosifying all types of water to create sufficient yield point to assist in carrying capacity
of solids for improved hole cleaning. Typically ID-PAC SR will provide a 15 cP viscosity and 45-lb/100ft2 (23-Pa)
yield point with a concentration of 2.5 lb/bbl (7.1 kg/m3) in fresh-water without any clay
It creates an envelope around exposed shales and cutting to encapsulate them, reducing dispersion and
permitting improvement of wellbore integrity. The encapsulation protects the shale from exposure to water.

Advantages

• Effective in controlling fluid loss.

• Function at all pH ranges.
• Environmentally acceptable.
• Resists bacteria attack, requiring no biocides or preservatives.
• Depending on water quality, provides viscosity.

Toxicity and Handling

Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described in
the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Packing and Storage

ID-PAC SR is packaged in a 25 kg (55.1 lb) multi-wall paper sack.

Store at moderate temperatures in a well-ventilated and dry area.
