Carbo-Beads are highly effective lubricity agents and are recommended in applications, which typically call for the use of glass or plastic beads. When added to the drilling mud, the rounded shape of the Carbo-Beads promotes a “ball bearing” effect, which greatly reduces torque and drag. Additionally, the Carbo-Beads slowly wear down to a slippery, oily film which also enhances lubrication, while leaving no sharp broken pieces behind.
