It is primarily used as a Loss Circulation Material (LCM) to seal pores in the formation and prevent the loss of drilling fluids into the surrounding rock.
A precise distribution, such as our 16 mesh grade, ensures that the flakes create an effective bridge across fractures of a specific size, optimizing the sealing process.
Yes, due to their high chemical stability and neutrality, they are compatible with various water-based and oil-based muds as well as different resins.
Absolutely. Beyond 16 mesh, we offer 8, 10, and 20 mesh, and can customize specifications to meet your unique technical requirements.
Mica's inherent thermal stability prevents it from degrading under extreme heat, maintaining its sealing properties where organic materials might fail.
We provide optimized bulk shipping in 40HQ containers loading 26MT, utilizing 650kg big bags on pallets for maximum safety and efficiency.
