PP – PAC-R
Manufactured by: Petropath Fluids India Ltd.
PP – PAC-R (Polyanionic Cellulose (Regular Grade)), manufactured by Petropath Fluids India Ltd., is a premium-quality filtration control polymer engineered for advanced oil and gas drilling operations. This high-performance additive is widely used in PAC R drilling fluid systems to optimize drilling efficiency and enhance wellbore stability.
In modern drilling environments, maintaining fluid integrity is critical. Polyanionic Cellulose (Regular Grade) plays a vital role in minimizing fluid loss, improving rheology, and protecting formations. Its ability to form a thin, low-permeability filter cake ensures controlled filtration, making it a preferred filtration control additive drilling fluid solution across the industry.
Polyanionic Cellulose (Regular Grade) is a modified natural polymer designed specifically for water based mud additive PAC systems. It works effectively in controlling filtrate loss in permeable formations, reducing risks such as wellbore collapse, formation damage, and excessive operational costs.
When added to drilling mud, polyanionic cellulose drilling mud systems benefit from enhanced viscosity, better suspension properties, and improved lubrication. This results in smoother drilling operations and reduced torque.
The product is particularly effective in challenging formations where fluid invasion can lead to instability. With PAC polymer oil and gas applications, operators can achieve superior filtration control while maintaining optimal drilling performance.

⚙️ Key Functions
