Drilling Fluids & Mud Oil Field chemicals
RXSOL DrillMax XPM Drilling Polymer
Product code RXSOL-81-6552-025
Delivers exceptional viscosity, suspension, and fluid-loss control, providing stable rheology for HDD, water-well, and mineral-exploration drilling in fresh or low-salinity water systems.
Description
A free-flowing powder blend combining high-efficiency for low-shear rate viscosity and cut carrying, and components for fluid-loss control and additional viscosity, and selected base for base gel/plugging and suspension stability. Designed for freshwater and low-salinity brine systems in HDD, water-well, mineral exploration and civil drilling.

Applications of drilling polymer powder
- Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) – Lubricates and stabilizes boreholes, suspends cuttings, and reduces torque/drag.
- Water-Well Drilling – Improves carrying capacity and maintains hole integrity in sand, silt, and gravel formations.
- Geotechnical & Exploration Drilling – Controls fluid loss and maintains stable mud properties in core drilling and mineral exploration.
- Civil Construction Boring & Micro-Tunneling – Provides a thixotropic gel for easy spoil removal and minimal surface disturbance.

Key Functions & Advantages of Drilling Polymer Powder
- Cuttings Suspension & Transport – High low-shear viscosity keeps cuttings in suspension during pauses or low pump rates.
- Fluid-Loss Control – Creates a thin, low-permeability filter cake to protect formation walls and reduce water loss.
- Lubrication – Reduces friction between drill string and borehole, lowering torque and wear on equipment.
- Formation Stabilization – Seals unconsolidated zones and prevents sloughing or collapse.
- Versatility – Works in fresh water and low-salinity brines; compatible with common drilling additives.
