FOAM X is used as a foaming agent in air drilling operations. Depending on the concentration used and the rate of injection, it can be used for dust suppression, mist, foam, and stiff foam production. FOAM X increases the ability of the air stream to carry cuttings and lowers air volume requirements. The addition of POLY VIS LIQUID, Poly Vis 2000, or Vis Trol will create a stiff foam for increased cuttings carrying capacity and improved hole stability in large diameter holes and friable formations. FOAM X reduces the sticking tendencies of wet clays and results in decreased incidences of mud rings and hole pack offs.

• Provides stable foam at low concentrations in fresh water
• Biodegradable and non-dangerous
• Reduces compressor requirements and enables deeper hole depths
• Improves hole cleaning and increases penetration rates
• Compatible with Mudex’s BIO HAMMER OIL
• Reduces loss of air to cavity zones
• Acts as an effective dust suppressant while drilling.

Dust Suppression 1-2 litres per 1000 litres water

Mist drilling 2-5 litres per 1000 liters water

Normal foam drilling 5 – 10 litres per 1000 litres water

Stiff Foam
Mix a base fluid containing 2 – 5 litres POLY VIS LIQUID per 1000 litres plus 10-15 litres FOAM X per 1000 litres. Inject into the airstream to produce stiff foam.
