SDIC – ‘Hydroguard’ (100# Pail)

Other Names: Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate, Water Treatment Additive
Basic Properties: Biocide, Disinfectant, Oxidizing Agent
SDIC, also known as Hydroguard, is a chlorine-based water treatment additive used in drilling fluids to control bacterial growth, prevent biofilm formation, and disinfect drilling water. It is particularly effective in stagnant water systems and high-bacterial environments.
As a biocide, SDIC effectively eliminates harmful bacteria and microbial contaminants that can cause fluid degradation, corrosion, and equipment fouling.
Additionally, SDIC acts as an oxidizing agent, breaking down organic matter and biofilms, ensuring clean and uncontaminated drilling fluids.
pH: SDIC is slightly acidic (pH 6.0 to 7.5), ensuring compatibility with most water-based drilling fluid systems.
By using SDIC (Hydroguard) in drilling operations, operators can prevent bacterial contamination, maintain fluid integrity, reduce corrosion risks, and enhance drilling water quality, ensuring safer and more efficient drilling operations.
