Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) is a high-quality, water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. This versatile chemical compound, specialized by its anionic nature, is designed to enhance fluid loss control in a variety of applications. It exhibits excellent thermal stability and resistance to degradation, making it an ideal choice for industries where performance is paramount.
In the oil and gas sector, PAC is widely utilized as an essential additive in drilling muds to reduce filtration loss and improve wellbore stability. Its unique properties allow it to efficiently viscosify water-based drilling fluids, facilitating the improvement of drilling operations while minimizing environmental impact.
Beyond the energy industry, Polyanionic Cellulose finds applications in the textile, food, and pharmaceutical industries. It acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and binder, enhancing product quality and consistency. Easy to dissolve in both hot and cold water, PAC ensures uniform viscosity without compromising on clarity or texture.
Its environmentally friendly profile, coupled with adaptability to various pH levels and temperatures, positions Polyanionic Cellulose as a key ingredient in formulations where performance, reliability, and safety are critical.
