Matex Air Drilling Additives

Matex additives for reverse circulation applications are ideal for reducing wear and tear on equipment and improving performance. Their environmentally safe formulation makes them a great choice for projects near water sources of where environmental regulations are in force.

 

 

RDO 302 ES

An environmentally safe product developed for reverse circulation DTH hammers. RDO-302ES rock drill oils are used to reduce wear and improve performance.

 

  • Ideal for areas adjacent to streams and lakes, or where groundwater protection is important
  • Lubricates more effectively than conventional rock drill oils 
  • Reduces contamination of surface and ground water

ES THREAD COMPOUND

An environmentally safe formulation that provides excellent protection against thread wear. Ideal for mineral exploration drilling projects where samples uncontaminated by heavy metals are required and groundwater contamination is of concern.

 

  • Free of both petroleum oil carriers and all heavy metals, such as lead, zinc, copper, aluminum, etc. 
  • Highly resistant to water wash off

HOLE CONTROL

A unique cost-saving fluid formulated to stabilize the borehole wall. It can be used with down-the-hole reverse circulation hammers.

 

  • Reduces in-hole torque and increases your sample size 
  • Eliminates regrinding of cuttings, leaving bigger chips for sampling purposes 
  • Acts as a dust suppressant and reduces windblown fines

FOAMER ES

Foamer ES is a non-alcohol based, high performance foam that is ideal for use in air drilling applications. Its environmentally-friendly foaming agent makes it suitable for mineral exploration, oil and gas exploration and water well drilling operations. It provides immediate, tight foam with good lifting characteristics.

 

  • Offers excellent half-life when compared with other leading foams 
  • Can be combined with Ultravis or Hole Control to provide significantly stiffer foam.

When the geologist has given you a specific target to reach with your bore hole, many of them will make specific requests that a hole proceed in a very straight direction for a certain number of meters. A lot will be riding on your ability to get there without your bore hole deviating.

Waiting for new drilling equipment can take longer than usual these days. Supply chains everywhere are being negatively impacted by external events far more frequently than ever before. Disruptive events, like the recent pandemic, are causing potential disruption to business activity and the drilling and mining industries are not immune. Delays are now common for drilling equipment especially those made with steel, such as drill rods, inner and outer tubes, etc.
