BARATHIN-PLUS

Thinner Product Data Sheet

Product
BARATHIN-PLUS thinner is a highly effective deflocculant / thinner designed for use across a broad pH
Description
range as low as 8.5. BARATHIN-PLUS thinner competes effectively with tannin based thinners and is
operable in fresh, saline or saturated salt water-based drilling fluids. It helps to control rheological and
filtration properties in fluids with calcium or cement contamination. BARATHIN-PLUS thinner may be used
to maintain lightly or fully dispersed drilling fluids. BARATHIN-PLUS thinner is environmentally
responsible and is suitable for use at temperatures up to 350F (177C).

Applications / Helps provide control of gel strengths and flow properties in non-dispersed and lightly dispersed systems
Functions while maintaining hole cleaning capabilities
Helps control rheology in fresh water, sea water and salt water drilling fluid systems
Helps control filtration rates of water-based drilling fluids at temperatures up to 350F (177 C)
Can effectively treat contamination from salt, cement, anhydrite, drilled solids

Advantages Specifically designed for low pH operations (8.5 9.5)

Highly effective in small concentrations (0.1 0.25 ppb)
Imparts tolerance to a wide variety of solid and mineralogical contaminants
Temperature stable to 350F (177C)
Contains no concentrations of chrome

Typical Appearance Brown-gold powder

Properties pH, (5% aqueous solution) 5.1
Bulk Density, compacted 44lb/ft (705kg/m)
Bulk Density, uncompacted 22lb/ft (352kg/m)

Recommended
1. To maintain non-dispersed system, 0.1 0.25 ppb to control gel strengths
Treatment
2. To maintain a lightly dispersed system, 0.5 2.0 ppb to control flow properties and filtration rates
3. To maintain a fully dispersed system, 2.0 4.0 ppb with appropriate pH at increasing levels as warranted
4. To restore flow properties and filtration control after contamination, 2.0 8.0 ppb

Packaging BARATHIN-PLUS thinner is packaged in 25-lb (11.3 kg) sacks
