Diamond Gel is a bentonite product designed with the specific needs of numerous drilling markets in mind. This premium grade beneficiated Wyoming bentonite outperforms its competitors in nearly all aspects. Diamond Gel is engineered to disperse easily under poor mixing conditions commonly found on coring rigs meaning this product eliminates waste due to clumping. Diamond Gel increases field yield by utilizing every gram in a bag to build viscosity and not sink to the bottom of the tank.
High-yielding premium bentonite builds a longer-lasting system for HDD recycler units capable of withstanding continual reuse without degradation of properties.
This all-around viscosifier, lubricant, fluid loss control additive is the solution in a demanding industry where every nickel counts and is proudly Earth Pro.
Diamond Gel Bentonite
Diamond Gel disperses in fresh water like no bentonite before it. The “norm” is to experience clumps of semi hydrated bentonite that can build up on core tooling or create a mess to clean up in a mud tank. Not Diamond Gel. Mixing Diamond Gel is as easy as adding to a point of agitation in a mud tank or ideally through a mixing hopper as you would mix any bentonite. Shearing with an in tank mixer is generally all that is required to yield a smooth high viscosity drilling fluid.
Diamond Gel can be used in cement + bentonite grouts without ill effect on cement making it a perfect one bag solution in environmental drilling as well. Always mix cement first then add bentonite.
Starting concentrations for most simple systems build of only Diamond Gel generally require less than 2 bags per 1000L. Consult with a Di-Corp representative to develop a fluids plan that works specifically for your application.
