ClareTech HFL Water Resistant
ClareTech HFL valve lubricant is specifically designed to offer greater water resistance and valve cavity retention in high water cut wells and water injector wells than conventional valve greases.
Water thickening technology
ClareTech HFL is the only valve grease on the market that features water thickening technology. Most valve greases when mixed with water will dilute and become thinner, resulting in the grease far too easily being displaced from the valve cavity, leaving the valve internal components unprotected.
ClareTech HFL contains unique chemistry so that it actually thickens slightly when mixed with water. This greatly improves its adhesive and cohesive properties and therefore its valve cavity retention, making it ideal for high water content applications.
Features and benefits
- Extreme resistance to water to effectively reduce the displacement of grease from the valve by fluids to offer lasting valve protection.
- The grease thickens and performance is enhanced on contact with water to enhance valve sealing capabilities.
- Performance proven in field deployment with success where previous attempts to seal the valve have failed.
- Superior cavity retention means extended re-greasing intervals and less grease is used overall to reduce costs and time spent on re-greasing.
- Highly viscous and adhesive, Claretech HFL generously coats valve components to provide maximum protection and increase their lifespan.
- Corrosion inhibitors and extreme pressure additives offer greater performance under high pressure flow conditions.
- The valve lubricant's hydrocarbon resistance means it is not broken down by produced aliphatic hydrocarbons and condensates.
- Good cavity retention can avoid losing grease downhole, which can restrict flow and affect injection rates on an injection well.
Market leading innovation
RS Clare’s water resistant valve grease ClareTech HFL is an innovative solution developed for use in applications wherever there is high water content.
It is formulated to stay in the valve cavity even at high pressures and high water flow rates, delivering consistent performance and reliable protection for valve components to maintain valve integrity.
Ready to reduce non-productive time?
ClareTech HFL is a preventative maintenance tool specifically designed to protect your valves from the damage caused by high water content.
It does not wash out of the valve cavity, remaining in place for lasting protection to reduce the need for non-production time to carry out corrective maintenance. Contact us to discuss your operational challenges and arrange a field trial.
