DESCRIPTION
PDSCo Plug TR30/60 is a high quality western bentonite chip with a biodegradable non-sticking coating. Available in 0.64 cm (Fine), 0.96 cm (Medium), and 1.26 cm (Coarse) sizes. Packaged in 50 lb polyethylene bags.
ADVANTAGES
| 1. |
Chips can be poured through standing water without sticking together, eliminating void and bridging. |
| 2. |
Non-toxic and non-polluting. |
| 3. |
Do not disintegrate upon swelling; seal are tough but flexible, and do not crack when subjected to movement. |
RECOMMENDED USAGE
Sealing Casing
Slowly pour PDSCo Plug TR30/60 into annulus and allow to drop to gravel pack. Grouting, pour PDSCo Plug TR30/60 directly into annulus alternating from one side of the casing to the other. This aids in an even distribution of product around the casing.
Hole Abandonment
Slowly pour PDSCo Plug TR30/60 into hole. Use Fine for very small spaces, Medium for holes less the 7.5 cm in diameter, and Course for larger holes. Fill hole to 3-5 feet of surface and apply cement plug or fill with native soil as regulation dictates.
Flowing Holes
Where water production is not desired and flow velocities are not severe, pour PDSCo Plug TR30/60 into hole filling bottom to top.
