ClayLock is a proprietary clay inhibitor blend used to prevent reactive clays from swelling. ClayLock binds and encapsulates clay platelets together and prevents water intrusion between the platelets - the root cause of clay swelling. It can be added to your water in a variety of ways, and the water-based formulation requires a fraction of the mixing energy required for other clay swelling prevention products. PRIMARY BENEFITS Additive to combat swelling/reactive clays Prevents clay deconsolidation Reduces torque by keeping pipe/tooling free from the “grabbing effect” of reactive clays Can be used in conjunction with ProAction’s ProBore or ProVis series FAQ’s Does the color of ClayLock have any bearing on the performance? No. There is a slight natural variation in the feedstock. Can I use ClayLock and ProDyne in the same mud blend?  Yes, ProDyne and ClayLock are compatible with each other and can be used in the same mud mix. Will ClayLock freeze? ClayLock will turn to slush at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C). This does not affect the performance, and it will fully activate when introduced into a fluid system. Can ClayLock be added to a bentonite-based mix? Yes! Ensure bentonite is fully dispersed and yielded prior to the addition of ClayLock to the fluid system. Improper addition of ClayLock, like all clay additives, will reduce the effectiveness of the bentonite. Clay inhibitors should always be added AFTER full hydration of the bentonite. MIXING GUIDE 1-2 EZBs (Bags or Bottles) treats 500 gallons It is possible to run a highly concentrated dose of ClayLock directly down the drill stem if reactive clays are unexpectedly encountered during a drilling operation. Upon breaking the joints between two rods, pour between a half to full EZB of ClayLock down the rod and circulate fluid to get concentrated exposure to the reactive clays quickly. If starting with an empty tank: Fill the tank with water to roughly half of desired capacity Add ClayLock through the top of the tank. The energy of the water filling the tank will be sufficient for agitation and mixing of the product. Mix tank for 2-3 minutes for full dissolution If adding into a tank already filled to target capacity: Tank fluid must be moving either via pump or mixing jets Add ClayLock through the top of the tank Mix tank for 2-3 minutes for full dissolution ClayLock Product/Mixing Guide Safety Data Sheet

GeoSweep LQ is comprised of the same active chemistry as GeoSweep HD, but blended into a liquid slurry for quick dispersion and rapid hydration. An all-in-one viscosifier, lubricant, and friction reducer alternative for high density and high permeability conditions ranging from sand to rock. GeoSweep LQ is a high molecular weight, multi-polymer slurry. It is an all-in-one viscosifier, lubricant and friction reducer alternative for high density-high permeability conditions ranging from sand to rock. GeoSweep LQ is comprised of the same active chemistry as GeoSweep HD, but blended into a liquid slurry for quick dispersion and rapid hydration. PRIMARY BENEFITS Decreased thrust and rotational forces because the slick nature of GeoSweep LQ reduces the  friction created between the bore wall and pipe High Cuttings Content from unique suspension properties and high gel strength that allow it to float and carry high density cuttings, such as coarse sand and gravel, out of the hole Filtration Control The specific blend of GeoSweep LQ allows the polymers to create a cake along the bore wall with a hydraulic seal, keeping fluid in the hole and moving cuttings down the bore path MIXING GUIDE 1-2 EZB treats 500 gallons There are 2 main ways to mix GeoSweep LQ. The first is to introduce it through the top of the tank quickly (full container emptied in less than 45 seconds); much like the method utilized for other ProBore Series products.The agitation in the tank and the shear of the pump will typically be sufficient to ensure full hydration in 5-8 minutes. Should the situation dictate the usage of a hopper, ensure the hopper is free of material and completely dry. Carefully pour down the throat, evacuating the desired loading in less than 45 seconds. To Mix GeoSweep LQ: For maximum performance, it is recommended the tank be rinsed of any bentonite-based products. The largest determining factor for full hydration is mix energy. Ensuring the system is operating efficiently will improve consistency of mixing. Adding GeoSweep LQ to empty tank: Fill tank to 50% of capacity (or just above roll jets) Pre-treat water with ProDyne Set Mixing System pump at full rpm with flow directed through roll jets Add desired GeoSweep LQ loading in less than 45 seconds Allow tank to continue agitating via the rolls jets for 5-8 minutes to ensure full dispersion and hydration More Pro Tips to Master Your Mix How Fast? One 1-gal bottle should take 45 seconds to be emptied into the tank. Heavy batches (more than 1 EZ Bottle) per 500 gallon batches of GeoSweep LQ require mix systems with high output pumps. For best results, add the containers quickly one after another. How Long? Full hydration typically occurs within 5-8 minutes. To confirm complete mixing, ensure there are no chunks or strings of polymer within the tank. FAQs Can GeoSweep LQ be combined with other ProAction Products? Yes. Not only is GeoSweep LQ compatible with all other ProAction ProBore products, there are cases such as when drilling in dirty sand, the addition of other ProAction products will provide synergistic benefits. However, ProDrill, ProDyne, or ClayLock should be added prior to, or immediately after, the addition of GeoSweep LQ. What soil conditions are best suited for GeoSweep LQ? GeoSweep LQ works best as a standalone product in heavy, dense soils such as sand, cobble, and rock. GeoSweep LQ’s unique and versatile properties make it a great option for clay and sand mixed soils. When should GeoSweep LQ be used instead of a Bentonite-based mix? GeoSweep LQ is a polymer alternative to bentonite for high density soil conditions. While ProAction does not limit our products to a specific hole size, a safe starting point for polymer only mixes in high density soil conditions is hole sizes less than 10” and less than 500’ in total length. Should the hole size exceed those parameters and operators’ comfortability with the product, ProAction offers a full line of bentonite and additives.

ProDrill is an anionic, multi-polymer blend formulated to build viscosity and bind to clay and other low density solids, providing efficient removal from a bore hole. ProDrill’s composition offers a high affinity to clay, providing a slick bore hole and smooth, creamy, cuttings consistency. ProDrill also works as a fluid on pipe friction reducer, leading to lower fluid pump pressures and increased pump life. PRIMARY BENEFITS Rapid hydration Decreased pressures High cuttings content on returns  Reduced cleanup time In addition to being base of ProBore series, can be used in conjunction with ProVis Bentonite and other bentonite-based products FAQ’s Can ProDrill replace bentonite clay? In soils that are composed primarily of clay as determined by a jar test, ProDrill can be a direct replacement. Is ProDrill compatible with Bentonite? ProAction’s recommendation for clay and other low density soils is to utilize ProDrill as your base fluid, and add other supplemental additives such as ProDyne and ClayLock as needed. In high density soils where a ProVis series or other Bentonite product is desired, low doses of ProDrill can be used to modulate the viscosity and carrying capacity. ProDrill’s high affinity for clay makes it extremely potent in bentonite mixes, and ProAction recommends capping dosage at 1/2 EZB (.25 gallon) per 500 gallons of water for those specific circumstances. Will ProDrill freeze? No. ProDrill will become more viscous in cooler temperatures, but will not freeze. MIXING GUIDE 1 EZB (Bag or Bottle) treats 500 ProDrill  is best suited for clay and silt soil conditions, and the mixing chart below shows the dosages needed for the various soil types. ProDrill is relatively unaffected by pH (safe operating range is between pH 5-10). However, ProDrill hydration can be affected by hard or mineral-laden water. ProDyne is recommended to run in conjunction with ProDrill  to ensure consistent results. If starting with an empty tank: Fill tank with water to the desired capacity Add ProDrill through the top of the tank. The energy of the water filling the tank will be sufficient for agitation and mixing of the product. Mix tank for 2-3 minutes for full hydration If adding into a tank already filled to target capacity: Tank fluid must be moving either via pump or mixing jets Add ProDrill through the top of the tank Mix tank for 2-3 minutes for full hydration ProDrill Product/Mixing Guide Safety Data Sheet

VacBoost is a proprietary water-based blend of clay inhibitors and surfactants that prevent clay and other soils with sticking tendencies from building up on surfaces in Hydro-excavator tanks or lines. VacBoost is a great solution to performance losses attributed to cuttings/material buildup in tubes or tanks. PRIMARY BENEFITS Water-based carrier fluid Prevents loss of suction in hoses Reduces dumping time by preventing soil from sticking to the interior of spoils tanks Non-foaming, eco-friendly formula FAQ’s When should I use VacBoost? VacBoost should be utilized when hydro-vac operations encounter sticky or reactive soils to prevent sticky and reactive clays from negatively affecting the performance of a hydro-vac or hydro-excavator. Will VacBoost freeze? Yes. VacBoost “slushes” at 16 degrees and can freeze solid at temperatures below 10 degrees.  It will thaw back out and is still usable, even if it does freeze. Does VacBoost have any oil or hydrocarbons? No. VacBoost is blended with a water-based carrier and uses components that are GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe). MIXING GUIDE 1 EZ Bottle treats 500 gallons VacBoost is water-based, and disperses and mixes very easily. The normal 1/2-gallon EZ Bottle treats 500 gallons, but the full container can be utilized in smaller water tanks with no consequence of over-treating. VacBoost does not add any viscosity or rheological properties to the water and does not sheen or foam. If starting with an empty tank: Fill the tank with water to roughly half of desired capacity Add VacBoost to the freshwater tank. The energy of the water filling the tank will be sufficient for agitation and mixing of the product. If adding into a tank already filled to target capacity: Add VacBoost to the freshwater tank Utilize a cutting wand to agitate the tank to mix the fluid Mix tank for 2-3 minutes for full dissolution VacBoost Product/Mixing Guide Safety Data Sheet
