SunSweep™
fiber Hole Cleaning Additive
Almost Like Running a Pig in a Pipeline!
SunSweep™ drilling fluid additive is a superior hole-cleaning agent that transports drill cuttings, metal shavings and other debris out of the wellbore. A proprietary treated polymerized synthetic fiber, SunSweep™ disperses easily in the fluid and exhibits excellent suspension qualities without adversely affecting any drilling fluid properties. The pail packaging, unlike cardboard-boxed product, is waterproof and resistant to damage, eliminating product damage while on location.
