Overview

Extreme Durability

This Northern White monocrystalline alpha-quartz proppant is derived primarily from the St. Peter and Wonewoc formations. The extremely durable proppant exhibits exceptional strength, integrity and purity, and will not degrade or dissolve during handling and pumping associated with normal fracturing operations.

Benefits

  • Proppant specific gravity of 2.65 enables maximum suspension and lateral fracture placement
  • Compatible with all hydraulic fracturing chemicals
  • Excellent crush resistant classification or K-Value
  • Meets or exceeds API RP-19C and ISO 13503-2 specifications for particle distribution, roundness and sphericity, turbidity, and solubility
