Product Overview
Key Features
Gelex
GELEXT: GELEX bentonite extender is a flocculating polymer capable of doubling the yield of bentonite used to formulate low-solids, non-dispersed systems. GELEX has the ability to provide increased viscosity with out an excessive amount of clay solids. It is used most often in low-hardness, freshwater fluids
Typical Physical Properties
Physical appearance- White, free-flowing powder
Specific gravity- 1.3
pH( 1% solution) - 6.5
Applications
GELEX, with its twofold yield, can maintain a given viscosity with onehalf the normal clay solids. This makes GELEX an excellent additive for low-solids drilling fluids. GELEX also tends to cause reactive drill solids, especially fine silty ones, to form agglomerates and settle out. This further enhances its use as an additive in either weighted or unweighted, nondispersed drilling fluid systems. It can be used as a selective flocculant. The recommended initial treatment is 0.05 lb/bbl (0.143 kg/m3) of GELEX. Subsequent treatments are based on bentonite additions, with one 2-lb bag of GELEX for each five to eight 100-lb (45.4-kg) sacks of bentonite added. GELEX is most effective in lowsalinity (<3,000 mg/l chlorides) and low-hardness fluids. Soda ash should be used to control hardness levels below 300 mg/l.
Advantages
Toxicity and Handling
GELEX is packaged 2-Ib (0.91-kg) plastic bags which come 25 per 50- Ib( 22.7-kg) corrugated cardboard box. Store in a dry location and minimize dust.

Advantages
- Extends the yield of bentonite; the addition of 0.05 Ib/bbl (0.143 kg/m3) of GELEX approximately boubles yield of bentonite
- Penetration rates and bit bearing life are improved by lower solids and improved solids removal
- Mixing time is reduced due to the less bentonite being required to obtain a given viscosity
- Deflocculants are needed only as necessary to control excessive gel strengths
- Less filter-cake buildup due to lower total solids
- Less effective in salty waters (>300 mg/l chlorides)
- Less effective in high-hardness water (>300 mg/l)
- Incompatible with deflocculants or thinners; if these materials must be used, use them cautiously and sparingly
- Temperature limitation of 250F (1210C)
Toxicity and Handling
- Bioassay information is available upon the request
- Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions as described on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
