CITRIC ACID ANHYDROUS
CITRIC ACID is a source of hydrogen ions (H+) used to reduce the pH of a drilling fluid. Both liquid and powdered. CITRIC ACID provides a layer of hydrogen ions around active clays, reducing their zeta potential and thus reducing their ability to imbibe water. This function translates to fewer solids, less swelling of the solids in the drilling fluid, reduced wellbore swelling, and more efficient solids control equipment function. A secondary benefit of CITRIC ACID is the formation of sodium citrate, a thinner. This helps counteract the flocculating influence of the hydrogen ions on first being introduced to the drilling fluid system.
Application – Pipe cleaning in Aircraft

Shelf Life and Storage
We recommend that product held for more than 5 years be reevaluated for fitness of use. Anhydrous Citric Acid is slightly hydroscopic and should be stored under conditions of low temperature and low humidity in airtight containers to prevent caking.
