Surfactants

NovaStar offers a full line of surfactant products.  Surfactants are a group of products that lower the interfacial surface tension between two previously immiscible liquids thereby allowing the mixing of the liquids. Surfactants may also lower the contact angle between a liquid and a solid acting as a wetting agent. 

 

            Applications include:

            Cleaning paraffin or sludges from downhole or other equipment

            Increasing injection rates or lowering injection pressures

            De-watering or removing water blocks

            Increasing calcium carbonate removal

            Preventing swelling of water sensitive clays
