AMC 117™ provides superior shale and clay inhibition in polymer based drilling fluids. AMC 117™ reduces the potential for bit balling, torque and drag as well as other clay and shale related issues. All this is delivered by a product that is more environmentally acceptable than the inhibitor typically used, Potassium Chloride.

AMC BENTONITE HV™ is a modified, high quality grade bentonite formulated to ensure a high quality bentonite mud can be mix with ease. AMC BENTONITE HV™ provides viscosity and gelling to most water based fluids while also contributing to fluid loss control.
AMC CORVIS™ is a high molecular weight, powdered polymer which has been developed to improve core recovery, particularly in clays and shales and highly fractured formations. It provides cuttings encapsulation as well as helping to stabilise the formation. AMC CORVIS™ forms a protective polymer film on the drill pipe and bit as well as on the walls of the bore hole which helps to provide lubrication when diamond drilling in troublesome formations.
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (KCl) is a soluble salt that is an extremely efficient shale stabiliser when drilling hydro sensitive clays and shales. Inhibition is provided through ion exchange; the potassium ion enters between the individual clay platelets in the shale so that they are held together, thus eliminating entry of water from the drilling fluid.
