kRT^TM Proppants

Hexion’s kRT proppants are a curable resin coated sand available in 20/40, 30/50, 40/70 and 100 mesh sizes. This economical product provides all the traditional benefits of curable resin coated sand including proppant flowback control and proppant fines reduction. Additionally, the resin system reduces dust generation during the pneumatic transfer and conveying process, which helps improve health and safety on location.

kRT 100 Proppants

Uncoated 100 mesh proppants are used to stimulate microfractures within the reservoir and extend propped fracture length. However, initial well production is often followed by a steep decline. This can be attributed to proppant flowback, rearrangement in the fracture, and fines generation due to proppant failure.

Hexion’s kRT™ 100 proppant is an economical, curable resin coated sand available in 100 mesh. This unique proppant supports the intended use of 100 mesh within the fracture network, while the resin coating bonds the proppants together in the fractures to keep the grains from shifting or rearranging. Rearrangement of the proppant pack can lead to reduced propped fracture width. The resin coating also delivers many of the benefits that curable resin coated proppants provide. This includes the reduction of proppant flowback, reduction of proppant fines, and enhanced well production compared to uncoated frac sand.
