    Product Bulletin

    ACTIGUARD™ ACTIGUARD shale inhibitor is a non-toxic blend of surfactants and


    low-toxicity vegetable oils that chemically bond to clays to inhibit
    water absorption and swelling. When mixed with fresh water, salt
    water or drilling mud, it transforms into a uniform particle size
    micro-emulsion. This micro-emulsion produces a high-surface-
    area, reactive liquid that has an affinity for larger clay particles.
    The effect is minimal on small particles such as finely ground
    bentonite. It bonds to the clay matrix of shales to control swelling
    and sloughing.
