Product Description
PAC-LV (Low Viscosity Polyanionic Cellulose) is a water-soluble cellulose polymer used in water-based oilfield drilling fluids. It is primarily selected to help control fluid loss while maintaining suitable drilling fluid viscosity.
This product is used in drilling fluid formulations where filtration control is required without excessive viscosity increase. Performance depends on the selected grade, dosage, water quality, salinity and the overall drilling fluid formulation.
Hanhai Chemical supplies PAC-LV for oilfield applications, with product selection based on customer requirements and available technical specifications.

Applications
Water-Based Drilling Fluids
PAC-LV is used in water-based drilling fluid systems to support filtration control and help maintain the required fluid properties.
Fluid Loss Control
The polymer helps reduce filtrate loss into permeable formations when used at an appropriate dosage in a compatible drilling fluid formulation.
Low-Viscosity Formulations
PAC-LV is selected when fluid-loss control is needed without adding excessive viscosity. The actual effect depends on grade, dosage and the other components in the fluid system.
Drilling Operations in Different Water Conditions
Product suitability should be evaluated according to make-up water quality, salinity, temperature and other drilling conditions before use.
Product Advantages
- Fluid Loss Control: Supports filtration control in water-based drilling fluids.
- Low-Viscosity Grade: Designed for applications where limiting viscosity increase is important.
- Formulation Compatibility: Can be evaluated alongside other drilling fluid additives.
- Grade Selection: Technical parameters can be reviewed against project requirements.
- Technical Documentation: Relevant product documents can be provided subject to availability.
How to Select the Right PAC-LV Grade
When sourcing PAC-LV, buyers should review viscosity, fluid-loss performance, moisture content, salt tolerance and compatibility with the intended drilling fluid system. Confirm the testing method used in the supplier’s TDS, because results from different methods may not be directly comparable.
For best results, conduct laboratory testing using representative water and drilling fluid conditions before field application.
Packaging & Storage
Store PAC-LV in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Keep the packaging tightly sealed and protect the product from moisture and contamination. Follow the storage and handling instructions in the supplier’s SDS.
Packaging sizes and export arrangements should be confirmed for the selected grade and order quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PAC-LV used for in oilfield drilling?
PAC-LV is mainly used in water-based drilling fluids to help control fluid loss while limiting additional viscosity.
What is the difference between PAC-LV and PAC-HV?
PAC-LV is the low-viscosity grade, commonly selected for filtration control with a more limited viscosity contribution. PAC-HV is a high-viscosity grade, often used when greater viscosity contribution is required. Actual performance depends on each manufacturer’s specifications.
Is PAC-LV suitable for all drilling fluids?
No. Suitability depends on the drilling fluid formulation, water quality, salinity, temperature and operating conditions. Laboratory evaluation is recommended.
Which technical parameters should I check before purchasing?
Review viscosity, fluid-loss performance, moisture content, salt tolerance and the relevant test methods in the TDS and COA.
Can Hanhai Chemical provide technical documents?
Available COA, TDS and SDS documents can be confirmed for the specific grade before ordering.
