PRODUCT DATA SHEET
BDF™-919
VISCOSIFIER
Product Description
BDF™-919 viscosifier is used to improve suspension and hole cleaning capabilities in high performance invert
emulsion drilling fluids. BDF-919 viscosifier is an amorphous material that requires shear and temperature to
achieve full yield in organophilic clay-free fluid systems. The performance of this product can be extended with
RHEMOD™ L, BDF-568 or other viscosifier additives. BDF-919 is similar to TAU-MOD® viscosifier and effective
at lower concentrations.
Applications/Functions
» Helps viscosify any invert emulsion drilling fluid
» Extends co-polymers and other rheology modifier products
» Helps to improve hole cleaning during drilling and workover operations
» Assists in building low shear rheology and gel strengths
Advantages
» Effective at low temperatures e.g. in deepwater applications
» Helps improve emulsion stability
» More effective than TAU-MOD viscosifier on a pound-per-pound basis
» Is compatible with most invert emulsion systems
Typical Properties
» Appearance: Cream colored powder
» Specific Gravity: 1.9 – 2.2
Recommended Treatment
Add 0.5 to 5.0 lb/bbl (1.4 -14 kg/m3) of BDF-919 viscosifier through the hopper.
Higher concentrations may be used if necessary. Additional tests should be conducted to define optimum
concentrations.
Packaging
BDF-919 viscosifier is packaged in 50-lb (22.7-kg) sacks.
