Loss Swell

Used to fill and seal fractures. It can expand more than 200 times its size.

APPLICATIONS

Loss Swell is a copolymer designed specifically for lost circulation control. It is highly effective in sealing fractures and voids by expanding more than 200 times its original volume when in contact with fresh water. This environmentally safe material is ideal for drilling environments where lost circulation is a concern.

Fracture Sealing: Loss Swell is used to fill and seal fractures. As it hydrates, it effectively seals the void, preventing further fluid loss.

Caving Zones: Loss Swell can be spotted in areas prone to caving to reduce the likelihood of caving problems.

Diamond coring and HDD: Ensure the drill rod is withdrawn from the zone for treatment before using Loss Swell.
