Colloidal Nanotechnology

CDS® operates as a colloidal system composed of nanoscopic micelles—tiny globular structures that encapsulate, protect, and transport active ingredients (AIs). These micelles dynamically adapt their orientation based on the polarity of the AI (polar or non-polar) and the nature of the contact surface (e.g., rock, metal, oil, or water), ensuring optimal delivery and effectiveness.

Hydrophilic–Lipophilic Balance (HLB) Control

Engineered to span the full Hydrophilic–Lipophilic Balance (HLB) spectrum, CDS® can function in both water-based and oil-based environments. This allows it to seamlessly interface with and modify diverse media, making it ideal for use in complex reservoir formations and variable pipeline conditions.

Surface Modification & Chemical Activation

CDS® modifies the surface energy and interaction properties of reservoir rock and infrastructure materials, effectively reducing oil adhesion and improving flow. Acting as a chemical surface activator, it significantly increases the contact area for reactions—boosting the performance of treatment chemicals.

Controlled Delivery & Triggered Release

CDS® provides targeted delivery of active ingredients through its adaptive micellar structure:

• It protects sensitive chemicals during transit.

• It releases them precisely at the point of need, triggered by specific environmental conditions such as surface contact or chemical polarity shifts, following principles of chemical equilibrium.

Dose Rationalisation

By increasing the efficiency of active ingredients, CDS® allows for substantial reductions in chemical dosing—typically only 30–50 parts per million (ppm) are required. This results in lower operational costs, reduced environmental impact, and minimised residual waste.
