DEXTRID® LTE™
FILTRATION CONTROL ADDITIVE
Product Description
DEXTRID® LTE™ filtration control additive is a modified and bacterially stabilized starch product used to reduce
mud filtrate in most water-based mud systems, especially polymer non-dispersed. DEXTRID LTE filtration control
additive is functional in freshwater thru saturated salt environments and does not increase fluid viscosity.
DEXTRID LTE filtration control additive is temperature stable to approximately 250°F (121°C). DEXTRID LTE
filtration control additive is also used to encapsulate drill cuttings and exposed wellbore formations to reduce
particle dispersion and reactive clay/shale formation swelling. DEXTRID LTE filtration control additive is non-
damaging and can be used in both Drilling Fluid and reservoir Drill-in Fluid applications. DEXTRID LTE filtration
control additive is a preferred stabilized variant in European environments.
Applications/Functions
» Helps lower filtration rates in most water-based drilling fluid systems
» Helps improve borehole stability
» Helps flocculate dispersed drill cuttings in clear water drilling
Advantages
» Helps maintain filtration control without detrimental viscosity increase
» Effective with fast drilling non-dispersed systems
» Helps decrease clay dispersion
Typical Properties
» Appearance: Fine or granulated powder
» Specific Gravity: 1.5
Recommended Treatment
To help reduce filtration in drilling fluids, add 2-6 lb/bbl (5.7-17.1 kg/m³) of DEXTRID LTE filtration control additive
slowly through the hopper
Note: Small amounts of PAC™ filtration control additive will complement DEXTRID LTE filtration control additive
in fresh and salty drilling fluids..
Packaging
DEXTRID LTE filtration control additive is packaged in 50-lb (22.7-kg) and 55.1-lb (25-kg) sacks.
