ThinStar

ThinStar is a highly efficient, thermally‐stable thinner and surface-active agent that removes bentonite clays from the bottom hole assembly.

It is primarily used to prevent bit balling and mud rings. ThinStar also helps to free stuck pipe because it will dissolve sticky clays. It can also be used to thin most drilling fluids.
