- Use approximately 1-2 gallons/200-400 gallons of water for mud problems, and slipping gravel.
- Use approximately 1-2 gallons/400-600 gallons of water as a penetrant and emulsifier.
- Use approximately 1-2 gallons/400-800 gallons of fluid as a drilling mud additive.
- Add directly to water in system being treated. (See table for calculation)
- Agitate occasionally with the pump. If a rig is over the hole agitate with a bailer, surge block or other tool. Dry ice can be used to agitate the chemical if rig or pump are not available. Pump or bail the hole clean, develop and test. Initial water after treatment contains spent chemicals and should be pumped to waste.

A 0.5g sample of each product was placed into a 500ml shaker cup. Then 100 mls of water was added to the shaker cup. Each sample was then shaken for 10 seconds and the respective foam heights were observed.
Rinse empty container with water and discard as per federal, state and local guidelines.
DA Penetrator is packaged in 5 gallon to 275 gallon containers. Bulk quantities are available upon request.
