|  | PRODUCT DATA SHEET Morrison MX DRILLING POLYMER™ THIXOTROPIC , ground stabilising mud viscosifier and foam additive for slurry tunnelling and HDD
EXCELLENT salt water mud
Note: There are 3 grades of MX: Regular (lower cost) for operations with high energy mixing systems such as jet hoppers; RD treated for easy mixing; and Liquid for smaller diameter boring.
Features and Benefits Very effective thickener for water based muds. Excellent carrying capacity - yet easy to pump because of its “shear thinning” characteristics - allows increased carrying capacity in the slurry at lower pump rates. This allows laminar flow behaviour and reduces risk of scouring. Recommended for: Challenging HDD applications. Wireline coring, especially continuous diamond coring where high quality cores are required. | Stabilises sands, gravels, and weak strata: builds high gel strength when static and reduces risk of over/under mining. Greatly reduces risk of breakout in fragile HDD cover. Very low concentrations (1 to 3 kg per cubic metre) will give excellent slurry with superb face and loose wall stabilising properties. Depending on bentonite quality and water hardness, one to 3 sacks of MX will replace 1 tonne of bentonite. Biodegradable - non toxic. Non-particulate: leaves no skin at the soil-grout interface. Excellent transport properties allow easy suspension of solid additives such as barite, mica, technical sands.etc. Prevents settling-out of sands in long horizontal pipe runs. Our best additive for thick foam. Plug flow characteristic likely to give clean, abrupt interface between slurry and grout. Ensure high efficiency sand separation for best results - please contact Morrison Mud regarding choice of equipment for efficient separation of thixotropic slurry. How to Use 0.25 to 5 kg per cubic metre of water based slurry. Can be used in conjunction with bentonite - see details above. When risk of breakout/lost cirvulation - use with SLOOP. Use jet hopper or colloidal mixer for best results. Safety Biodegradable, non toxic, safe in use BUT always read the MSDS sheet before using for the first time. Note: Slippery when wet. Format (Other formats on request) Powder: 20 kg tubs, 25 kg sacks
