Mining & Oil Drilling
Drilling fluid materials to API 13A and flotation reagents for sulphide and non-sulphide ores, packed to survive the last two hundred kilometres to site.
On a rig or at a mine, a late or off-spec delivery does not delay a project — it stops it. Cosmo Chemistry supplies barite, bentonite, polymers, flotation reagents and bulk alkalis in campaign volumes, tested to the standards drilling and mining engineers actually use, and packed in jumbo bags and drums built for multiple handling and remote unloading.
