Re-Plex
Re-Plex* anionic-scavenger is a cationic polyelectrolyte used in the Drilplex*
AR Plus system.
Re-Plex additive has a strong and irreversible affinity for suspended and dissolved organic matter which protects the mixed-metal-oxide
(MMO) bentonite complex from being disrupted by organic contamination.

Applications
Contamination of MMO-base fluids with organic materials, derived from decayed organic matter and which are also found naturally in peat
and geologically young coals, can lead to complete collapse of the unique elevated low-shear rheology of these fluid types. Historically,
this sensitivity to even relatively small concentrations of anionic contaminants has limited the application of MMO-base fluids in certain
geographical locations.
Re-Plex anionic scavenger was specifically developed to improve the tolerance of MMO-base fluids to anionic contamination.
The Re-Plex product can be added at concentrations of 0.25 to 0.5 lb/bbl (0.7 to 1.4 kg/m3) to a fully formulated fluid. To avoid overtreating the
system it is recommended that additions of Re-Plex scavenger are made only on a remedial basis to condition a contaminated system. Higher
treatment levels should be pilot tested, and may be necessary with higher levels of organic contamination.
Advantages
•  Re-Plex additive is effective at low concentrations (but the effective treatment level is dependent on the severity of organic contamination)
•  Specially designed polymeric scavenger for anionic contaminants
•  Can help protect the MMO-bentonite complex from being totally and irreversibly collapsed by organic contaminants
•  The addition of Re-Plex scavenger can fully restore rheology to a MMO-base fluid after anionic contamination
•  Can be used to enhance the system tolerance to anionic additives
Limitations
•  The use of Re-Plex product should be pilot tested prior to making additions to the active system
•  The bentonite-MMO complex should be allowed to fully develop prior to the addition of Re-Plex scavenger
•  Gelplex* or an equivalent premium grade bentonite is recommended
•  Additions of Re-Plex product should be made slowly over a number of circulations to avoid localized flocculation of the fluid
•  Overtreatment with Re-Plex additive can lead to increased rheology and can have a negative impact on fluid-loss control. It is therefore
recommended that Re-Plex scavenger be used as a remedial treatment when anionic contamination of the Drilplex AR Plus system is
suspected.
•  TrolPlex* and FloPlex* Plus fluid-loss-control-additives are more compatible with Re-Plex additive than FloPlex additive
Toxicity and Handling
Bioassay information is available upon request.
Handle as an industrial chemical, wearing protective equipment and observing the precautions described in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS).
