In high-stakes industries where fluid behaviour directly impacts operational success, Carboxymethyl Cellulose High Viscosity (CMC HV) stands out as a critical additive. Whether it’s used in deep-well drilling, complex tunnelling, or heavy-duty industrial formulations, the need for effective viscosity control and fluid loss prevention has never been greater. At Petra Industries Pvt. Ltd., we supply CMC HV that meets the most demanding global standards—ensuring performance, consistency, and reliability when it matters most.
What is CMC HV?
CMC HV is a high-viscosity grade of Carboxymethyl Cellulose, a water-soluble, anionic cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose. Its primary function is to modify rheological properties, control filtration loss, and enhance suspension stability in water-based systems. With excellent thermal and chemical resistance, CMC HV is a trusted additive across a broad range of applications—from oil drilling to construction.
This high-viscosity solution is particularly effective in systems requiring both structural integrity and fluid performance under extreme environmental conditions.
What is CMC HV?
- Exceptional Viscosity Performance Provides high viscosity even at low dosages, delivering superior thickening and improved yield points in various formulations.
- Outstanding Fluid Loss Control Helps minimize filtrate loss in drilling and construction fluids, reducing the risk of formation damage.
- Thermal & Chemical Stability Maintains stable performance in high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments—ideal for demanding downhole and industrial applications.
- High Solubility & Easy Dispersion Easily dissolves in both hot and cold water, allowing for smooth integration into existing systems without clumping or residue.
- Eco-Friendly Composition Derived from natural cellulose, it is non-toxic, biodegradable, and safe for use in environmentally sensitive areas.

Oil & Gas Industry Applications: Unmatched Versatility
CMC HV plays a mission-critical role across the entire drilling lifecycle in the oil and gas sector. Here's how it supports operations:
- Drilling Fluids (Mud Systems) Enhances viscosity and reduces filtrate loss, improving borehole stability and cooling the drill bit, while reducing differential sticking risks.
- Wellbore Stability Forms a protective filter cake on the borehole wall to prevent water intrusion and avoid collapse in sensitive formations like shale.
- Cementing Operations Improves water retention in cement slurries and enhances flowability, which helps in achieving better zonal isolation.
- Workover & Completion Fluids Contributes to safe and efficient well interventions by stabilizing well conditions and preventing fluid invasion.
- Horizontal and Directional Drilling Offers superior suspension capabilities, ensuring efficient cuttings transport in complex borehole geometries.
- Shale Inhibition and Hole Cleaning Minimizes shale swelling and enhances removal of drill cuttings from the wellbore— crucial for effective drilling progress.
Other Key Applications
CMC HV’s benefits extend beyond oil and gas, offering advantages across multiple industries:
- Construction: Improves workability, sag resistance, and water retention in tile adhesives, mortars, and grouts.
- Paints and Coatings: Acts as a thickener and stabilizer, enhancing consistency and finish quality.
- Detergents and Household Products: Contributes to viscosity and texture control in liquid formulations.
- Textile Printing: Enables even dye penetration and stability in printing pastes.
