OBM-Viscosifier is a high-quality grade of organophilic clays which is widely used in oil-based mud systems as a viscosifier. OBM-Viscosifier optimize hole cleaning and suspend cuttings and weighting agents. It has a long-term effect, and is stable in low to high temperatures (up to 350 °F). It is not suitable for clay-free oil-based muds.
