Drilling additive for hard rock

Complex 42

A concentrated drilling additive for hard-rock drilling, foundation work, and demanding subsurface applications. Field results have shown faster drilling, reduced vibration, fewer tooth changes, lower equipment strain, and meaningful fuel savings.

What it does

  • Penetration rate up to 3.4x faster
  • Bit life 80–90% longer
  • Roughly 40–45% less fuel
  • Fewer drill-string jams
  • Less wear on bit, bearings, mud pump, and pipe
  • Less hard-facing wear
