Maintaining optimal borehole stability and keeping your cutting tools cool is the foundation of any successful trenchless installation. Contractors Utility Supply provides a premium lineup of drilling fluids and premium bentonite products tailored for the complex demands of modern underground excavation. Our high-yield bentonite mixes quickly and creates a superior filter cake, preventing fluid loss in porous soils and ensuring that excavated cuttings are properly suspended and flushed from the hole.
