AERO 32 Drilling Foam
High Performance Super-Concentrated Drilling Formula
What Is It?
AERO-32 is a high performance super-concentrated drilling formula, an essential aid in all types of air drilling – air, foam, or mist.
What Does It Do?
AERO-32 is compatible with fresh water, sea-water, or brine and produces a rich, long lasting “shaving foam” consistency. AERO-32 based systems can reduce drill water requirement and disposal problems by allowing you to switch from water to foam drilling.
What Are the Benefits?
• Exceptional water lift
• Non-damaging to aquifers: leaves low yielding horizons unimpaired
• Minimal to zero pollution
• Cleans the hole
• Reduced clay sticking and “mud rings”
• Alternative to mud in loss zones and environmentally sensitive areas
• Increase borehole stability
• Biodegradable
• Requires less air velocity than straight air drilling – which means less downhole erosion
• Mud pits are not required
• Suppresses dust when added to air stream

How To Use
Formulation:
Straight foam: 5 to 50 litres (depending on water quality and foam thickness required) of AERO-32 in 1000 litres of water.
AERO-32 can be used in conjunction with TK60 Polymer and/or MX to create super-stabilising, high-lift and lubricating technical foams. These require 5 to 25 litres of AE60 plus 1 to 3 kg of TK60 or MX per 1000 litres of water.
Consult Mudtech for more detailed advice on your requirements.
Application
Inject into airstream as required to generate the required foam consistency.
NOTE: Straight high-volume air drilling is ideal for dry formation being drilled at speed, for example in Coal Bed Methane operations. Where direct venting of air/cuttings returns is disallowed, eg in built up areas, ask about Mudtech’s DELUGE system for cost effective total containment and disposal of air drilling spoil.
Safety
Biodegradable• Non-flammable – safe in use
