Cationic Polymer
Description of product
Cationic polymers are positively charged, water-soluble macromolecules widely used in water treatment, drilling fluids, and other industrial processes. These polymers are effective in flocculating negatively charged particles, such as suspended solids and clays, to improve clarity and separation efficiency. In the oil and gas industry, they are utilized to enhance the performance of drilling and completion fluids, as well as in wastewater treatment.
Applications:
- Water Treatment: Used as a coagulant aid to remove suspended solids and reduce turbidity in wastewater and industrial effluents.
- Drilling Fluids: Improves viscosity and aids in solid removal, enhancing fluid stability and reducing formation damage.
- Completion Fluids: Helps stabilize the formation and minimizes fines migration by flocculating particles.
- Enhanced Oil Recovery: Used to reduce water-cut and improve sweep efficiency in secondary recovery processes.
- Paper and Textile Industries: Acts as a retention aid and improves drainage during production.
