Foam Drill

FOAM DRILL is a high-performance liquid foaming agent based on anionic surfactants. It produces stable, high-quality foams that improve cuttings transport, borehole cleaning, and overall efficiency in air and foam drilling systems.

Features and Performance

  • Generates immediate, compact and stable foam
  • Improves cuttings lifting and transport
  • Optimizes borehole cleaning
  • Reduces water consumption
  • Can be adjusted to produce stiffer foams when combined with suitable polymers
  • Suitable for a wide range of operating conditions
  • Environmentally compatible formulation with high biodegradability
  • Biodegradation of up to ~99.9% within 2–3 days
  • Suitable for environmentally sensitive applications when used correctly
