Description

SAPP Flush is a cement preflush used to improve the efficiency of bentonite mud removal. SAPP Flush is a
solution of Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate.

Features

SAPP Flush thins bentonite muds, which facilitates their removal ahead of cement.

SAPP Flush is easily pumped in turbulent flow.

SAPP is generally mixed in water at 28 kg/m, however, in larger preflushes, the concentration may be reduced
to 14 kg/m.

Physical Properties

Properties of SAPP are as follows:

Appearance: White powder

Specific gravity: 1.86
pH: 4 (1% solution)
Solubility: Water soluble

Limitations

SAPP Flush is not recommended for use at temperatures above 149F (65C) BHCT. (Beyond this point, SAPP
hydrolyzes to simple phosphate salts. These salts do not have a mud thinning effect and cause unpredictable
thickening of cement.)

Safety and Handling

See MSDS for handling precautions.

Packaging

SAPP is available in bags. SAPP Flush is blended on location.
