Where it is used

D-Lay breaker controlled release agent is used as a self-degrading fluid loss control additive when fluid loss control is desired for a period of time and a fluid loss control pill is used. It is used in combination with D-Grade self-destructive bridging agent, as a component of the internal breaker or bridging package of self-degrading solids-laden or crosslinked hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) fluid loss control systems, to achieve required delay time above 200 degF [93 degC].

How it works

D-Lay agent is recommended for bottomhole temperatures above 200 degF [93 degC]. At these temperatures, D-Lay agent hydrolyzes and inhibits the D-GRADE agent reactivity rate to help achieve the required delay time.

What else I should know

The agent may not activate below 200 degF [93 degC]. Lab testing is required.

Typical Physical Properties
Physical appearance Granular powder
Color White blue
Specific gravity 1.33

Toxicity and handling

Bioassay information is available on request. Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions described in the SDS.

Packaging and storage

D-Lay agent is packaged in 50-lbm [23-kg] paper sacks. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep container closed. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames. Store away from incompatibles. Follow safe warehousing practices regarding palletizing, banding, shrink-wrapping, or stacking.
