XPLOR dry emulsifiers have demonstrated performance in diesel, mineral oil or synthetic-based drilling fluids.  They are compatible with a variety of solvents thus reducing the need to purchase multiple types of emulsifiers. 

Shipped in 25-pound bags, the product is also easier to pour than traditional liquids in barrels, allowing for more precise dosing.  Using XPLOR dry emulsifiers eliminates drum transportation, cleaning and disposal costs. 

Typical liquid emulsifiers may contain about 50% base oil but XPLOR dry emulsifiers have a higher activity level. As a result, less emulsifier is required to treat a drilling fluid than with a liquid emulsifier. 

XPLOR dry emulsifiers have minimal resistance to flow, even at temperatures below freezing, so they are easier to work with in cold climates than conventional liquid emulsifiers that need to be hot boxed, steamed or jacketed in order to pour in frigid conditions.   As a dry product, the product is easier to control packaged in barrels. 

XPLOR dry emulsifiers are the first products in a growing family of dry oilfield products from Georgia-Pacific Chemicals, adding to its portfolio of liquid emulsifiers, wetting agents and fluid loss additives.
