These compressed, lenticular pellets are made from highly swelling bentonite and covered with a biodegradable, non-sticking film. The coating helps the pellets descend through standing water without clumping, so they can reach deeper placement points with less risk of bridging.
Once hydrated, the pellets swell to form a flexible, low-permeability seal.
Key benefits
- Suitable for sealing, plugging, and well abandonment
- Designed to fall through standing water columns up to 160 meters without bridging
- Helps isolate well screen intervals and limit grout penetration into gravel pack zones
- Requires no mixing or pumping equipment
- Can be used to help regain lost circulation
- Described by the product document as non-toxic and environmentally acceptable
Available sizes
1/4 in (0.64 mm) and 3/8 in (0.95 cm)
Allow at least 4 hours for hydration after exposure to water; full hydration takes up to 24 hours, depending on water quality.
