I-123
Use:
I-123 is a cost effective acid corrosion inhibitor for use in acidizing. It is compatible with
all strengths of HCl and Mud acids and has special additives to ensure it doesn’t interfere
with emulsified acids.
I-123 is formulated without Propargyl Alcohol and is designed to form a protective film
on metal surfaces for use in acidizing treatments and spearheads in fracturing treatments
up to formation temperatures of 250 F. For higher temperatures increased dosage may be
required or user could switch to I-124 or add an intensifier to the acid system.
Physical & Chemical Properties:
Parameter Specification
Density 8.5 to 9 lb/gal
Solubility in Water Soluble
Solubility in Diesel Insoluble
Appearance Dark colored liquid
Odor Alcohol/Glycol/Aromatic
Flashpoint 185°F
Freeze point < 20°F
Compatibility:
Compatible with most known acidizing fluids and additives used in acidizing treatments.
However, a compatibility test is recommended before use
Environment:
I-123 is hazardous to the environment.
Typical Dosage:
Pumped at 0.5 to 4 gpt with acid fluids to provide effective corrosion inhibition.
Temperature Limitations:
Can be used across a wide temperature range, no lower or upper temperature limitations
on performance. It has been effectively used up to BHT of 300 deg F. It is
recommended to use an intensifier at BHT above 250 deg F or switch to I-124.
