Sealing and Plugging System
Data Sheets
The BENSEAL and EZ-MUD slurry combines two widely used Baroid products into a patented technique that provides a simple, economical method to seal and grout boreholes, well casings and earthen structures. The slurry develops a high quality grout with low permeability.
Applications and Functions
- Seal or grout plastic and steel casings
- Seal downhole instrumentation in test and observation holes
- Plug abandoned boreholes for mineral, water and seismic exploration
- Stabilize broken or unconsolidated formations
- Grout ground source heat pump loops
Advantages
- Both products are NSF/ANSI/CAN Standard 60 certified
- Develops strong bond between grout, casing and formation
- Forms a flexible seal with a very low permeability that prevents commingling of aquifers and entry of surface contaminants
- Delays bentonite swelling on surface so that unyielded bentonite will swell in situ
- No heat of hydration
- Re-hydratable
- Minimal grout level subsidence
- Allows hole reentry
