AUS-GEL is a modified, premium grade Sodium Bentonite, which has been finely ground and processed to ensure ease of mixing and superior mud making qualities in fresh water.

AUS-GEL is recommended as a high yield viscosifier for building a mud system with excellent flow properties and low filtrate loss in fresh water. The product makes an economical low solids drilling fluid which has specific application in diamond drilling and water wells with permeable sections or poorly consolidated sands and gravels.AUS-GEL increases hole cleaning capabilities and promotes hole stability in unconsolidated and caving formations. AUS-GEL can be used for making gel-foam for air drilling.

(a) Effective – AUS-GEL makes more than twice as much mud of the same viscosity as an equal weight of API grade Bentonite.(b) Economical – single product preparation of a low solids drilling mud.(c) Fast Yield – AUS-GEL reaches high viscosity very quickly.(d) Environmentally Acceptable – does not ferment and is non-toxic.

Recommended Usage of Aus-GelUnder normal drilling conditions. In unconsolidated formations, loose sands and gravels.To improve hole cleaning, core recovery and increase hole stability. Kg/M 3Add to Fresh Water- 15 - 30- 35 - 45- 10 - 15

AUS-GEL should preferably be mixed by adding slowly through a jet funnel or a high speed stirrer. If such equipment is not available, sprinkle AUS-GEL slowly into water close to pump section.

AUS-GEL is packaged in 25kg multiwall, water resistant paper sacks.
AUS-GEL is environmentally safe.
