Peptizing agents for drilling-mud clays are sodium carbonate, sodium metaphosphates, sodium polyacrylates, sodium hydroxide and other water-soluble sodium compounds, even common table salt, NaCl, if added at low concentration.

What is Peptization?

=> The process of converting precipitate into colloid by shaking it with a suitable electrolyte.

  • The electrolyte which is added is called a peptizing agent.

Ex: Small amount of dilute hydrochloric acid to stannic oxide precipitate gives a stable sol of stannic oxide.
