- Product Benefits
- Successfully and predictably reduce the control fluid density.
- Incompressible and more homogeneous control fluid properties compared to aerated systems.
- Eliminate the need for specialized equipment used in foamed cement
- Compatible with both water and oil based systems
- More economical and allow a greater density reduction window than synthetic oils
- Light: When synthetic oils are used as base fluid, densities as low as 0.66 kg/l can be achieved.
- Tiny: 3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS19K46 remain in the fluid when circulating through solids control equipment, including shale shakers, hydrocyclones and centrifuges.
- Tough: Resistant to shear and impact forces when circulating through bit nozzles and impacting formation walls.
- Offer the potential for higher performance through increased rate of penetration
- Reduce your cost through reconditioning and reuse of the lightweight fluid.

Safety & Health
- Safety Information
- Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure assessment and safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
- Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate to prevent overexposure. An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part of a full respiratory protection program. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator type to reduce inhalation exposure: Half facepiece or full facepiece air-purifying respirator suitable for particulates.
- Provide local exhaust ventilation at transfer points. Use general dilution ventilation or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits or control dust. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
Ideal storage conditions include unopened cartons in a dry and temperature-controlled warehouse. Extended exposure of 3M™ Glass Bubbles HGS19K46 boxes to high humidity and conditions susceptible to condensation may result in some amount of caking of the 3M™ Glass Bubbles.
