Product Overview
Tiger Foam is a biodegradable foaming agent that can be used in various types of drilling applications and used with fresh and brackish water.
Applications
Tiger Foam can be used in a variety of air drilling applications such as air/foam, air-gel/foam, mist drilling and stiff foams.
Advantages
- Improves hole cleaning and cuttings removal
- Reduces tendencies of clays to stick together
- Increases hole stability
- Suppresses dust during drilling operation
- Reduces erosion in poorly consolidated formations
- Environmentally friendly and does not pollute.
Typical Properties

Mixing & Dosage
Air Drilling – For use as a dust suppressant 0.5 – 1.5 litres per m³ or 0.1 – 0.2% of volume of injected water. Foam Drilling – Added to injection water at a rate of 1.0 to 3.0% to maintain hole stability and increase penetration rate. Stiff Foam Drilling – For unconsolidated formations, large diameter holes and loss circulation zones, a stiff foam can be used. A slurry of Tiger Foam and Tiger Drill can be added in a proportion of;
- Tiger Foam 10 – 15 litres/1000 litres
- Tiger Drill 1 -2 litres/1000 litres
The slurry is then injected into air stream to produce a thick stiff foam.
Rates are a guide and vary with hole conditions, make-up water and formation. Confirm against the data sheet or call our technical team.
