Indorock Supermix Liquid
High-Performance PHPA Drilling Polymer

Indorock Supermix Liquid is a high-performance Drilling polymer designed to optimise your Drill Mud system. As a premium PHPA (Partially Hydrolysed Polyacrylamide) emulsion, it's one of the most effective Drilling Additives available for superior borehole stabilisation and fluid loss control.

This advanced formula acts as a powerful viscosifier, performing exceptionally in fresh, saline, or hard water. As one of our core Fluid Additives, these Mud Polymers prevent clay swelling and shale dispersion, ensuring a stable borehole, reduced equipment wear, and maximum core recovery.

Applications

Water-Based Drilling

Enhances drilling fluid performance in all types of water-based mud (WBM). From fresh to hard water, it provides excellent borehole stability for reliable results across diverse project sites.

Salt-Saturated Systems

Maintains exceptional polymer stability in saturated saltwater mud and brine drilling fluid systems, ensuring consistent viscosity and fluid loss control without loss of efficiency.

High-Torque Reduction

Functions as a premium drilling lubricant and friction reducer to significantly reduce drilling torque, drag, and vibration, protecting downhole equipment and boosting drilling efficiency.

Shale & Clay Control

As a powerful shale inhibitor and clay stabilizer, our PHPA mud additive encapsulates reactive formations. This prevents bit balling and swelling, ensuring total wellbore stability.

Recommended Dosage

Dosage may vary based on hole diameter, compressor power, and water injection rates.

Mist Drilling Foam Drilling Air Drilling
Indorock Superfoam should be mixed with water at 0.25–0.5 percent by volume and injected into the air stream. The rate of injection will depend on hole size, compressor output and water flow rate etc. If water flow rates are high and compressor limits are reached, up to 1.0–2.0 by volume of Indorock Superfoam. Indorock Superfoam can be used as an effective dust suppressant, at 0.1 – 0.2 percent by volume injection water.

Did You Know?

A well-foamed drilling system can increase drilling efficiency up to 35%, reduce bit wear, and minimize formation damage — especially in shallow to medium-depth exploratory drilling.

Environmental Responsibility

Indorock is committed to delivering safe, efficient, and eco-conscious drilling solutions. Supermix Liquid is formulated with non-toxic components, reducing environmental risks without compromising performance.
