RDO 302 ES / RDO 302 ES MW* RECOMMENDED USE: ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE VEGETABLE OIL BASED ROCK DRILL LUBRICANT RDO 302 ES is a unique product developed for all types of drilling where percussive hammers are used, such as D.T.H. Hammer, air tracks, casing drivers and top hammers to save wear and improve their performance. Use RDO 302 ES in all in-line lubricators. RDO 302 ES reduces the potential of surface or groundwater environmental damage during mining production, mineral exploration, construction of roads and pipelines, quarrying, water well drilling, and oil and gas exploration. RDO 302 ES has proprietary lubricating compounds that preferentially wet the steel, so they are resistant to being washed off in a water, saline water, or foam environment. This helps reduce the corrosion (rust) that can develop in these environments on the internal and external parts of the hammer even after the equipment is not in use. RDO 302 ES has a special filming additive that prevents piston scuffing and heat build up. Wear of internal hammer parts is reduced dramatically thereby increasing profitability. RDO 302 ES has a viscosity that allows the lubricant to flow freely to areas requiring lubrication. Lubrication can be better controlled and consumption reduced by using RDO 302 ES. RDO 302 ES is an environmentally safe product that lubricates more effectively than conventional Rock Drill Oils while reducing contamination of surface and groundwater. Particularly suited for drilling uncontaminated WATER WELLS AND MONITOR WELLS in sensitive areas such as adjacent to streams and lakes, or where groundwater protection is important. SPECIFICATIONS: Viscosity @ 100 o C: 8.42 Cst.. Viscosity @ 40 o C: 46.0 Cst Specific Gravity @ 25 o C: 0.907 Pour Point: -36 o C VI: 214 Flash Point: 292 o C Heavy Metals: none Active Ingredients: 5 10 % LC50: 10,000 ppm+ RDO 302 ES is also available as a soluble lubricant. *RDO 302 ES MW is specifically for monitor well use. Environmental data and chemical properties are available upon request. SUGGESTED DOSAGE: Use as per DTH Hammer Manufacturers Specifications.
HOLE CONTROL RECOMMENDED USE: A UNIQUE COST-SAVING FLUID FORMULATED TO SPEED-UP HOLE-COLLAR- ING, REDUCE COLLAR SLOUGHING AND STABILIZE THE BOREHOLE DESCRIPTION: HOLE CONTROL can be used with air-rotary tri-cone, down the hole hammers and all types of top hammer drills (surface and underground). HOLE CONTROL reduces RE-DRILLS (the re-drilling of a borehole, due to hole collapse) HOLE CONTROL eliminates regrinding of cuttings, thus creating bigger chips for sampling purposes and increasing penetration rates. HOLE CONTROL leaves a sticky, neatly stacked cuttings pile that is not prone to sloughing prior to loading the hole. HOLE CONTROL acts as a dust suppressant and reduces wind blown fines. HOLE CONTROL allows blast holes to be fully loaded, helping to optimize blasting operations and creating a clean smooth floor. HOLE CONTROL speeds up borehole collaring, thereby increasing production SUGGESTED DOSAGE: *Product will separate slightly over time. The buckets need to be shaken vigorously before each use.* The approximate mix ratio to achieve tank mix suitable for most drilling and borehole conditions is approximately 1-2 quart(s) of HOLE CONTROL to 250 US gallons of water (or 1-2 Litre(s) of HOLE CONTROL to 1000 Litres of water). Naturally acidic water sources will require more Hole Control additive to achieve the required viscosity.
ES THREAD COMPOUND AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE VEGETABLE OIL BASED REPLACEMENT FOR THE PRESENT PIPE DOPES THAT CONTAIN HEAVY METALS AND PETROLEUM CARRIERS ES THREAD COMPOUND s unique formulation provides excellent protection against thread wear, galling and seizing for tool joints, drill collars and rotary shouldered connections. ES THREAD COMPOUND is free of both petroleum oil carriers and all heavy metals, such as lead, zinc, copper, aluminum, etc. ES THREAD COMPOUND is highly resistant to water wash off. ES THREAD COMPOUND is ideal for mineral exploration drilling projects where samples uncontaminated by heavy metals are required, and groundwater contamination is of concern. ES THREAD COMPOUND should be a preferred thread compound for all drilling applications including water wells. ES THREAD COMPOUND protects inner and outer connections on reverse circulation drill pipe (inner o-rings and thread connections).

FOAMER ES RECOMMENDED USE: HIGH PERFORMANCE FOAM DESCRIPTION: FOAMER ES is an environmentally acceptable foaming agent to be used in mineral exploration, oil and gas exploration and water well drilling operations. FOAMER ES has been used as a drilling aid for monitoring wells. FOAMER ES has an excellent half-life comparable to the leading foams on the market. FOAMER ES gives immediate tight foam (compact bubbles) with good lifting characteristics. FOAMER ES can be enhanced by the addition of Matex Hole Control or Ultravis to create significantly stiffer foam if required. Below is a biodegradability chart comparing FOAMER ES to a common foaming agent. The biodegradability of the FOAMER ES is 99.9% after 2 to 3 days. Sample Percent Biodegradation AOS 2-S 99.99 AOS 4-S 100.0 AOS 4-S 99.8 AOS 8-S 99.9 SDA C, LAS (Standard) 94.0 SUGGESTED DOSAGE: Normal Drilling Conditions: 0.5% 1.0% by volume Excessive Water Influx: 2.0% 3.0% by volume Dosages will depend on chemical make-up of the drilling water, volume of water used, and the depth of the hole.
