Results for tag: "Zinc Chloride"

Zinc Chloride is a chemical compound used in oilfield applications, such as drilling muds, completion fluids, and workover fluids. It is used to control the pH of the mud, to prevent corrosion of the drill string, and to reduce the amount of water lost to the formation. It is also used to reduce the viscosity of the mud, allowing it to flow more easily through the wellbore. Zinc Chloride is produced by reacting zinc oxide with hydrochloric acid. It is available in both liquid and solid forms, and is typically sold in drums or bulk containers. The price of Zinc Chloride is largely dependent on the price of zinc oxide, as well as the availability of hydrochloric acid. The Zinc Chloride market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a variety of products. Major players in the market include AkzoNobel, BASF, Dow Chemical, and Solvay.
