In addition to imparting excellent rheological properties, it increases the carrying capacity and hole cleaning capabilities of the drilling fluid. CLAYTONE 3 also has the secondary benefit of providing stability to inverse emulsions and improving filtration control. CLAYTONE 3 disperses easier and yields faster than alternative products, therefore, it is well suited for mud plant conditions.

CLAYTONE-3 is recommended for non-aqueous drilling fluids where the bottom hole temperatures do not exceed 300 °F (150 °C). CLAYTONE-3 is also suitable for use in packer fluids.
