CLAY SYNC is a low molecular weight, non-ionic 100% active dry polymer for use as a clay inhibitor in
water-based drilling fluids. CLAY SYNC also strengthens shale and lubricates the wellbore. The polymer
adheres to the surface of reactive clays preventing dispersion and hydration. When used in conjunction
with the Polymer Package of the HYDRO-GUARD system, it creates a very shear-thinning system
that imparts low ECDs while still yielding good hole cleaning rheology.

CLAY SYNC should be mixed through the hopper for best results in the HYDRO-GUARD system.
If salinity >140,000 ppm use 2 lb/bbl (5.6 kg/m), if salinity <140,000 ppm use 3 lb/bbl (8.4 kg/m)
or more.
