HK - SODIUM SILICATE (ALKALINE)

HK – Sodium Silicate (Alkaline) is a high-alkalinity inorganic silicate solution used in oilfield and industrial applications for enhanced shale inhibition, formation strengthening, and alkalinity control. Its strong alkaline nature improves clay stabilization and helps reduce wellbore instability during challenging drilling conditions.
