Zinc Bromide / Calcium Bromide
Description
Zinc Bromide / Calcium Bromide (ZnBr2 / CaBr2) brine, often referred to as zinc bromide, is available weighing 19.2 lb/gal (2301 kg/M3) and is 54.5% zinc bromide and 19.5% calcium bromide. It is used for clear-brine workover, completion and packer fluids that require high density.
|
Application & Features
Zinc Bromide / Calcium Bromide brine is used as a clear-fluid brine during workover and completion operations which require densities up to 19.2 lb/gal (2301 kg/M3). It is blended with calcium chloride/calcium bromide brines to formulate and control density of various fluids blends.
This brine provides inhibition preventing the hydration and migration of swelling clays and can be used for packer fluids. Fluids can be formulated with various crystallization points and are available for special applications and winter use.
For customers' options, the materials are available with Zinc Bromide liquid, Zinc Bromide powder and Zinc Bromide / Calcium Bromide solution.

Packaging
Liquid material is packed in 55 USG (208 liters) HDPE drum containing 465kgs net or 1000 liters HDPE tote containing 2300kgs net.
Solid material
is packed in 25kgs sacks.
Store in corrosion resistant containers and keep closed and firmly sealed. It is concentrated hygroscopic salt solution which will absorb water from the air, reducing density if not properly stored. |
MSDS - Material Safety Data Sheet is available upon request.
