ClayBloc & ClayBloc Plus: A Cleaner, Safer, Better Alternative to Industry-Standard Clay Stabilizers

ByRyan Arioli

In drilling, performance is only part of the equation. Operators today are equally focused on safety, consistency, and environmental responsibility, and that’s where ClayBloc and ClayBloc Plus deliver a measurable advantage.

Across oil & gas, HDD, industrial drilling, and water well applications, ClayBloc technology provides the reliable clay inhibition modern drilling demands, without the harsh chemistries, strong odors, or unpredictable performance seen in many industry-standard products.

ClayBloc products are engineered with a simple goal: high-efficiency clay stabilization without compromise.

Why ClayBloc & ClayBloc Plus Outperform Traditional Clay Stabilizers

✅ Superior Clay Stabilization

ClayBloc formulations deliver strong performance where it matters most:

  • Reduces clay swelling, dispersion, and sticking
  • Minimizes torque, drag, and required pullback pressure
  • Improves hole cleaning and helps maintain stable fluid performance

From pilot hole to pullback, the chemistry stays consistent, and so does the drilling.

✅ No Noticeable Odor

Unlike many conventional clay stabilizers that emit sharp, unpleasant odors on the jobsite, ClayBloc and ClayBloc Plus contain no notable odor, making them safer and more comfortable for crews in enclosed or high-contact work environments.

✅ NSF Certified

ClayBloc technology is NSF certified, making it safe for:

  • Water wells
  • Environmental drilling
  • Projects requiring strict regulatory compliance

This certification ensures confidence in sensitive, high-visibility drilling environments.

✅ Consistent Performance in Bentonite Systems

ClayBloc products were designed to work with, not against, your bentonite system:

  • Effective in both treated and untreated bentonite
  • Maintains viscosity and fluid loss
  • Performs reliably in real-world mixing conditions
  • Supports stable mud properties throughout the entire bore

Where traditional stabilizers can destabilize or over-react with bentonite, ClayBloc stays predictable.

✅ Made in the USA

With over 60 years of expertise in starch and polymer chemistry, AquaSol manufactures all ClayBloc products in the United States, ensuring:

  • Reliable supply
  • Technical quality control
  • Fast lead times and trusted delivery

With AquaSol, operators get more than a product; they get a partner.

Better Chemistry. Better Outcomes.

ClayBloc and ClayBloc Plus prove that you don’t need harsh chemicals or overwhelming odors to achieve exceptional clay control. You simply need better-engineered chemistry.

If your goal is to reduce downhole problems, improve drilling efficiency, and optimize mud performance, ClayBloc technology helps:

  • Keep your bit turning
  • Keep your hole stable
  • Keep your drilling fluid working exactly as it should

AquaSol, because the future of chemistry isn’t synthetic, it’s sustainable.
