American HDD® polymer drilling products are a line of super concentrated drilling fluid to be used for short distance/small diameter HDD bores. This says to use, color coded polymer drilling system allows utility contractors to quickly and efficiently drill through various soil types. Just add the appropriate product and drill! They can be mixed and matched even in alternating ground conditions. Do not let the small packaging fool you — these ultra-concentrated products are designed for real drillers in all sorts of tough ground.


American HDD® POLY-MISSLE™ is a highly concentrated, liquid polymer emulsion that serves as the base for American HDD polymer drilling products. Used by itself, POLY-MISSLE will product a viscosity solution in water which can fulfill the demands of most short bore length drilling applications. It is highly lubricating, clay inhibitive, and can help remove fine solids from the borehole. Sold in a 64 ounce container, 4 per case.
American HDD® CLAY-MISSLE™ is a concentrated non-hazardous, proprietary clay inhibitor that can either be used with bentonite fluids or can be added to American HDD polymer drilling products. CLAY-MISSLE is an ideal additive for HDD bores in reactive clay soils. CLAY-MISSLE is the most powerful and concentrated product of this type available. Sold in a 32 ounce container, 6 per case.
American HDD® SAND-MISSLE™ is a highly concentrated, liquid polymer that can either serve as a stand-alone fluid or can be added to American HDD polymer drilling products. Use it with POLY-MISSLE to increase solids suspension. SAND-MISSLE will produce a high viscosity solution designed to suspend sand, silt and fine gravel. Sold in a 64 ounce container, 4 per case.
American HDD® HOLE-SLIME™ is a concentrated, liquid surfactant/detergent that can either be used with bentonite fluids or can be added to American HDD polymer drilling products. Used with bentonite, HOLE-SLIME will help prevent rod-sticking and seizing. When added to POLY-MISSLE , it can function to create an extremely high-performance slurry for clay drilling. Sold in an 8 ounce container, 12 per case.
American HDD® COPPER BASED HDD ALL-SEASON is a copper based drilling compound for use in all HDD drilling applications. It is especially effective in lower temperature environments but has the versatility to be used year-round. It is designed to provide galling and seizing protection and support for high bearing stress on HDD pipe joints. NSF H2 Registered.

Product Application

Designed for Small Diameter Short Bores Only (12″ and under and less than 1,000 feet)

Use the chart below to guide your usage of these products to your bentonite slurry mix to enhance your drilling fluids.

American HDD polymer drilling products or any polymer products alone should never replace bentonite based drilling fluids for larger diameter longer bore shots or exceptionally challenging and high risk projects.

AMERICAN HDD® COPPER BASED HDD ALL-SEASON INDUSTRIAL COMPOUND

Product Applications

Recommended for use on HDD drill pipe and developed for rugged conditions. Low temperature field applications is enhanced through the use of a premium quality, low temperature base grease, making it an outstanding choice for environments reaching below 0ºF. Can be brushed on threads or applied via most automated lubrication systems.

Technical Data
