Alberta, Canada – Novamen Inc. is a leading supplier of potassium formate in both solid and in-solution form across Canada. This non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-flammable fluid is widely used as drilling mud additive, deicing agent and reducing agent in various industries.

Novamen Inc. is a Canadian chemical distribution company that supplies High-Quality Potassium Formate for various applications. Potassium Formate is a potassium salt which has a higher thermal efficiency and lower corrosion rate than calcium chloride and other brine solutions. It can also lower the leak and spillage rate, and reduce maintenance and repair costs on refrigerated systems.

Novamen Inc supplies the oil and gas industry with potassium formate as a drilling fluid and heat transfer fluid:

• Potassium Formate has a high-density, as it reaches 1.57 sg (13.1 ppg) at saturation.
• It also provides solids-free brines without the use of a weighting agent like barite to reach the desired fluid density.
• Potassium Formate is environmental friendly and an alternative to calcium chloride salts.
• Extends polymer thermal stability
• Potassium Formate has low formation-damage quotient when used as reservoir drill-in fluid.
• It also exhibits lubricity characteristics that are equal to or exceed that of oil muds.

Potassium formate inhibits shale hydration and improves hole stability by exchanging potassium ions with the clay and shale. Potassium formate will provide temperature and bio-stability to starches, PACs and polymer and reservoir damage is minimized due to the low solids content of formate based drilling fluids. Potassium formate is also more lubricious than chloride solutions and can be used as the internal brine phase in invert-emulsion systems. It is used as drilling mud additive to improve drilling efficiency, and as a reducing agent in printing and dyeing, and more.
