Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC)

Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) is a derivative of cellulose, it is a water-soluble cellulose ether and carries a negative charge, categorizing it as an anionic compound. At its core, PAC is a linear polysaccharide made up of β-(1,4)-linked glucose units. However, it also has carboxymethyl groups attached, leading to its anionic characteristics and water-solubility. Factors such as the degree of carboxymethyl substitution and the molecular weight of PAC influence its specific properties, including viscosity and solubility. Known for its ability to create viscous solutions in both fresh and saltwater, PAC also boasts impressive heat stability. It is commonly found in oil and gas drilling fluids to decrease fluid loss. Furthermore, it is valued in various other sectors like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and textiles due to its high viscosity and non-toxicity. Grades Due to the extensive variety of PAC grades we offer, it's not feasible for us to display samples of every grade in our sample store. Each grade involves significant customization to cater to specific needs. For inquiries or to discuss your specific requirements, please reach out to our sales support team at support@sideretech.com. For a comprehensive list of our readily available on-shelf grades, kindly refer to the Technical Data Sheets (TDS) available in the documentation section. We encourage our customers to review these documents for detailed information. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Applications Applications Functions Oil and Gas Field Driling Performs as a filtration control agent, viscosifier, and shale inhibitor in water-based mud such as freshwater, seawater, and saturated brine system. Mining Drilling Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Act as a filtration control agent; Along with bentonite, it also improves lubricity and helps to prevent bit balling; Used in more coarse-grained soils. Mining Processing Functions as a granular binder in the iron-ore pelletization process and flotation inhibitor in the flotation process. Documentation TDS_Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) Safety Data Sheet
