FRACSAL ULTRA SC

1 of 13 products in this brand
Fracsal Ultra SC crosslinking additive consists of a specifically sized, sparingly-soluble borate crosslinking agent suspended in a aqueous, crosslink modifier solution. The low pour point of the winterized Fracsal Ultra SC makes this product ideal for use under moderately cold conditions. The standard concentration for Fracsal Ultra SC is 1 to 3 gal per 1,000 gal of fracturing fluid with crosslink times ranging from 1.5 to 7.5 minutes depending upon the pH, temperature, and type of polymer-based fracturing fluid system. Fracsal Ultra SC packaging can be customized to meet specific requirements.
