Description

Potassium Polyacrylamide KPAM is a copolymer of partially polyacrylamide/polyacrylate potassium, white or yellowish powder, used as viscosifier/shale inhibitor in most of water based muds. It is also added to low-solids drilling fluids to increase lubricity, fluid viscosity, and to improve carrying capacity of drilling fluids. KPAM is better than traditional PHPA.
