Econo Phos – Drilling Fluid Additive
SKU: ECOPHOS-50LB | Brand: Economy Polymers & Chemicals Available Sizes: 50 lb Bags – 1000 lb Super Sacks – Bulk
Product Overview
Econo Phos is a professional-grade drilling fluid additive composed of 100% sodium polyphosphate (CAS No. 68915-31-1). This white, odorless powder is engineered to optimize the performance of water-based drilling fluids by improving flow characteristics, reducing pump pressures, and aiding in the suspension of solids.
Key Benefits
- Reduces Viscosity – Improves fluid mobility and pump efficiency
- Enhances Solids Suspension – Keeps cuttings in motion for better hole cleaning
- Improves Drilling Efficiency – Supports better ROP (Rate of Penetration)
- Versatile Use – Effective in horizontal, multilateral, and clean-out drilling operations
