MINING, TUNNELLING, WELL & GEOTECH DRILLING
Diamond tool performance additive for drilling and tunnelling
Complex42™ is a concentrated, next generation performance additive which optimizes drilling, speed as well as tool effectiveness and lifespan. Complex42™ represents a significant technical advance over standard drilling lubricants.
Complex42™ Key Applications
- Mine shaft drilling
- Tunnelling and boring
- Wells, geotech & pilings
Complex42™ Technical Benefits
- Low cost concentrate — used at 2-5% dilution
- Increased ROP (Rate of Penetration), up to 6x. Approximately 40% more efficient than Australia’s leading MUD lubricant
- Increased torque at drilling head
- Preserves tool cutting edges, increasing drill bit life
- Fewer drill string excursions
- Reduced wear on the drill string by lubricating the drill bit, bearings, mud pump & drill pipe
- Reduced machine stress prolongs engine life
- Biodegradable
Drilling Efficiency and Cost
Drilling rate and bit life significantly impact drilling costs.
A complex range of factors influence the wear of drill bits, including bit design and quality, bit operating parameters and the characteristics of the substrate. Complex42™ increases ROP and reduces drill bit wear under all conditions, providing significant downstream performance improvements and tool cost reduction.
Safety
Complex42™ is non-toxic, low odour and biodegradable.
