Swell Stop Liquid
Clay inhibitor — prevents swelling in reactive formations.
Swell Stop Liquid is a potassium-based clay inhibitor in liquid form, designed to prevent hydration and swelling of reactive clay and shale formations. It provides immediate inhibition on contact, making it ideal for pre-treating drilling fluid before entering reactive zones.
The liquid format allows for precise dosing and easy incorporation into any water-based drilling fluid system. Particularly effective when combined with Clay Control in highly reactive ground.
