{"product_id":"proaction-fluids-claylock-clay-control-additive","title":"ProAction Fluids ClayLock Clay Control Additive","description":"\u003cp class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"\u003eClayLock is a proprietary clay inhibitor blend used to prevent reactive clays from swelling. ClayLock binds and encapsulates clay platelets together and prevents water intrusion between the platelets - the root cause of clay swelling. It can be added to your water in a variety of ways, and the water-based formulation requires a fraction of the mixing energy required for other clay swelling prevention products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRIMARY BENEFITS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditive to combat swelling\/reactive clays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents clay deconsolidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces torque by keeping pipe\/tooling free from the “grabbing effect” of reactive clays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used in conjunction with ProAction’s ProBore or ProVis series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ’s\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the color of ClayLock have any bearing on the performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. There is a slight natural variation in the feedstock\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use ClayLock and ProDyne in the same mud blend? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, ProDyne and ClayLock are compatible with each other and can be used in the same mud mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill ClayLock freeze?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClayLock will turn to slush at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C).

Ensure bentonite is fully dispersed and yielded prior to the addition of ClayLock to the fluid system. Improper addition of ClayLock, like all clay additives, will reduce the effectiveness of the bentonite. Clay inhibitors should always be added AFTER full hydration of the bentonite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMIXING GUIDE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1-2 EZBs (Bags or Bottles) treats 500 gallons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is possible to run a highly concentrated dose of ClayLock directly down the drill stem if reactive clays are unexpectedly encountered during a drilling operation.
