Description
Water-Soluble Tubes for Gas Well Surfactant Delivery
Aquasol SoluTube water-soluble soap stick tubes provide a clean, ready-to-fill enclosure for measured surfactant treatments in natural-gas wells. The hollow, spiral-wound tube contains the treatment until it reaches the well fluid, then dissolves to release the surfactant.
Use SoluTube when consistent loading, lower handling exposure and dependable launcher operation matter. Its low-tack outer surface helps loaded sticks move freely through compatible launchers rather than sticking together during storage or delivery.
Why Choose SoluTube
- Controlled delivery: supports measured quantities of surfactant, detergent or other compatible material.
- Reliable handling: durable water-soluble paper construction helps reduce breakage in transport.
- Cleaner operation: helps minimize direct contact with treatment chemicals while preparing sticks.
- Biodegradable material: made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and wood pulp; designed to dissolve without leaving packaging residue in the well.
- Non-stick surface: helps support continuous operation in compatible soap-stick launchers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do SoluTube soap sticks dissolve?
Dissolution depends on well temperature, salinity, water movement and the material being enclosed. In typical conditions, complete dissolution may take about 20 to 80 minutes; the contents can release sooner when conditions are favorable.
How should SoluTube tubes be stored?
Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area and protect loaded tubes from moisture before use.
Can I order a non-standard size?
Yes. Provide the required diameter, length, material to be enclosed and expected quantity when requesting a quote.
