Organophillic Clay

Oil based drilling fluids requiring rheological modification

Organophilic bentonite and hectorite, "bentones," are used in oil muds to build rheology for cuttings lifting and solids suspension. They also contribute to low-permeability filter cake. Organophilic attapulgite and sepiolite are used in oil muds strictly to build gel structure, which may not be long lasting due to shear degradation as the mud is pumped through the bit.

Application

It is an Organically modified bentonite clay used as drilling fluids viscosifier . It is recommended for using in oil drilling mud which based on diesel ,mineral oil,alpha olefins,vgetable oils. This is a self – activated Organically modified bentonite clay . Its imparts higher gel strengths to oil based fluids systems.This translates into muds and slurries having improved anti-settling and down hole sag resistance properties.

Emergency overview Harmful in contact with eyes. Prolonged exposure may cause chronic effects. Contact with this material can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
OSHA regulatory status Potential health effects However exposure limits detailed in Section 8 should be observed.
Eyes Dust or powder may irritate eye tissue. Eye contact may result in corneal injury.
Skin Health injuries are not known or expected under normal use. Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis (rash).
Inhalation Inhalation of dusts may cause respiratory irritation.
Ingestion Target organs Health injuries are not known or expected under normal use. Eyes. Lungs. Respiratory system.
Chronic effects Chronic lung disease (silicosis) and/or lung cancer may result from prolonged/repeated breathing of the dust of this material. Shortness of breath.
Signs and symptoms Cough. Discomfort in the chest. Shortness of breath. Conjunctivitis. Corneal damage. Chronic lung disease(silicosis) and/or lung cancer may result from prolonged/repeated breathing of the dust of this material.

EYE Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
SKIN Wash off skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
INHALATION Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
INGESTION If swallowed, rinse mouth with water (only if the person is conscious). If ingestion of a large amount does occur, seek medical attention. Symptoms may be delayed.
General advice Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice (show the label where possible).

Flammable properties Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air.

Hazardous combustion products Extinguishing media

Personal Precautions

Surfaces may become slippery after spillage. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.

Evacuation procedures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Stay upwind.
Environmental precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods for containment Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Contain the discharged material.
Methods for cleaning up Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal container. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up. Do not flush with water. Forms smooth, slippery surfaces on floors, posing an accident risk.

Handling Wear personal protective equipment. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Storage Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
