unavailable. Also acts as a viscosifier, friction reducer and flocculant, and provides some
fluid-loss control. NSF certified.

Dril-Trol QD: Dry version of Uni-Drill, offering fluid loss control, moderate viscosity and
superior clay inhibition.

POLYSWELL: Unique, crosslinked polymer designed to swell many times its original
weight when added to a drilling fluid. Its primary application is for lost circulation.

Kwik-Vis "D": Premium PHPA polymer in a dry granular form. Designed to achieve high
viscosities in shaft, caisson, horizontal drilling and slurry trenching operations, and in
small drill applications.

RINGFREE: Low-molecular-weight, liquid polymer designed to thin bentonite-based
fluids. Also aids in breaking up sticky or swelling clays to help reduce torque and drag.
NSF certified.

Super Mud: Liquid polymer emulsion primarily used as a viscosifying agent and soil
stabilizer to prevent sloughing and/or collapse of a borehole.
Super Mud Dry: Granular polymer used as viscosifier and soil stabilizer to prevent
sloughing and/or collapse of borehole.
Wyo-Ben, (406) 652-6351, www.wyoben.com
Borzan: This true biopolymer is highly concentrated to minimize the cost per gallon. Its
gel strengths suspend solids and prevent sticking, reducing loss circulation problems.
Claymaster: Concentrated, nonhazardous, proprietary clay inhibitor that can be used
with either polymer or bentonite drilling fluid systems.
Drill-X: Low-foaming, drilling detergent and wetting agent used in freshwater systems. It
also offers lubrication characteristics.

Thinz-It: High-performance thinning agent for heavy clay applications. Can be used
in conjunction with Drill-X to produce a unique "dispersed" mud system for better hole
cleaning and faster penetration rates.
Uni-Drill: Proprietary liquid polymer designed for use in rotary and HDD operations. It
mixes quickly and controls fluid loss, preventing the formation clays from swelling.
Wyo-Lube RR: Premium drilling fluid lubricant designed for HDD, rotary drilling and
mining industries. Its superior lubricating properties decrease torque and drag, increase
the penetration rate and reduce wear on tooling.
Wyo-Vis DP: High-performance, viscosifying dry PHPA polymer that reduces instances
of bit balling, lowers rotary torque and shields swelling borehole clays.
Wyo-Vis HP: High-performance, viscosifying liquid PHPA polymer that reduces instances of bit balling, lowers rotary torque and shields swelling borehole clays.
Wyo-Vis LVP: Powder polymer that shields clays from swelling during the boring operation, while adding limited viscosity to the mud system.

Drill-X HP: Low-foaming, drilling detergent and wetting agent used in freshwater
systems. It also offers lubrication characteristics.
