Sulphonated Sodium salt of Asphalt (CAS 68201-32-1) is a chemical compound that is commonly used in various industries. It has the appearance of a solid from dark brown to black in color with a characteristic odor. The basic structure of this compound consists of sulfonated asphalt molecules with attached sodium ions.
Sulfonated asphalt is a widely used additive for drilling fluids. The reagent is designed specifically to solve problems related to the instability of the borehole, increases the stability of the borehole walls, clogs pores and microfractures, prevents the weakening of the structure, softening and shedding of the rock. Improves the quality of the filtration crust, gives it additional strength and elasticity, and reduces the water loss of drilling mud.
