MICA (C/F/M) (ASHA MICA)

Ashahi Chemical Industries Pvt Ltd is the one of the oldest Manufacturer of Specialty Oil Drilling Fluids and Mud Chemicals for Oil field Applications based out in the state of Gujarat, India. Ashahi Chemical Industries Pvt Ltd is in the commercial production since 1979.

MICA is used as a mud additive in drilling fluids to prevent loss of circulation and as a sealant. Mica is a good sealant because the sheet particles overlap each other sticking to the side of the hole and creating a sealed wall.

MICA is essentially naturally Occurring Muscovite Mica flakes seized in Fine, Medium and Coarse grades

ASHA MICA C	MICA Coarse
ASHA MICA F	MiCA Fine
ASHA MICA M	MICA Medium

MICA FLAKES can be used in water-based and oil based oil-well drillings operations as an additive mud chemical to prevent loss of circulation and seepage. Mica is specially added to seal-off the lost circulation zones. The platy structure of mica facilitates the overlapping of particles to form a layer or wall and acts as a sealant that bridges the openings. The use of Mica helps to seal porous formations and contributes to regain circulation keeping the solids in suspension.
