APPLICATION
For Drilling Fluids: An addition rate of 0.25-1.0 L/m3 of drilling mud is recommended.
Higher addition rates may be necessary for difficult situations. The possibility of foaming exits
with increased concentrations of Emul-Break. Pretreat the system with 3-5 pails of XL
Defoamer prior to making increased additions.
For Well Stimulation: Emul-Break in a 1.0-5.0% hydrocarbon solvent will stimulate oil
production by reducing interfacial tension between oil, water and the producing formation.
Emul-Break will remove emulsion blocks and act as a sludge dispersant removing solid
particles.
Caution: Emul-Break is a surface-active demulsifier. Emul-Break is a respiratory and
digestive tract irritant that should be handled with care (See MSDS).
MIXING AND HANDLING
Emul-Break can be added directly to the mud on surface or through the mixing system. Avoid
inhalation of vapours. Do not get on skin, in eyes or on clothing. Keep container closed when
not in use. Wear suitable protection for eyes and skin when handling. Use with adequate
ventilation. Avoid contact with incompatible materials (See MSDS). Store in cool, dry, well-
ventilated area away from sources of heat, ignition and sparks. Use proper grounding
techniques if product is classed as flammable or combustible. Avoid using
