- low dosage applications
Centurion
Get the most from your wells with the least. The FR world looks to AquaSlick to complete most freshwater applications.
- Low cost leader
- Excellent drag reduction
- Fast hydration

CT Sweep
One of the best pill sweeps on the market. When in a bind, look for a gel sweep like CT Sweep. Great as a Xantham alternative.
- High Viscosity sweep applications
- Works on coil tubing completions
- Uplugs coil tubing
XC Vis 5
XC Vis 5 is the best hybrid system on the market. Coil tubing plug drillout is often plagued with tough blending conditions for chemicals. Much of the time the blending tanks have a minimal amount of agitation. The blending water is usually flowback water from the frac. Historically, XC or xanthan polymer has been slow to viscosify and even slower in these salty frac waters. Binder Science has eliminated these problems with XC Vis 5 thickener/lubricant combination. As a viscosifier for short trip cuttings removal, XC Vis 5 xanthan polymer slurry is unparalleled. The viscosity builds almost instantaneously! And, unlike guar or HEC, it will more easily suspend cuttings at much lower viscosities. This is a great feature for coil jobs where pump pressure increases can be costly.
- Polymer and Xantham based
- Synergy, when used in the Maxim System
- High brine applications

Drawing Inspiration from the Paint Industry
In the quest for the perfect solution, we take inspiration from the paint industry, which has long relied on elasticity as a predictor of pigment particle suspension.
The significance lies in the fluid’s ability to suspend particulates at rest, a feat beyond the scope of viscosity metrics. When G’ (elastic modulus) exceeds G” (viscous modulus), the fluid showcases the required elasticity to suspend pigments effortlessly.
A Cohesive Journey
The landscape becomes more complex in drilling, fracking, and coil operations as velocity takes center stage. Beyond the shear range typical for elasticity measurements, intuition reinforces the role of elasticity as a powerful variable in proppant suspension, reflecting the fluid’s cohesiveness. Cohesiveness, simply put, means sand particles are embraced by fluid molecules, ensuring they defy gravity and remain suspended.
Elasticity and dilatancy are intimately linked. As the inverse proportion of each other, they dictate the fate of your frac fluid. The frac path, akin to a giant filter, follows the rules applied to commercial filters—fluid flows faster than solids (sand), leading to concentration as they progress through the wellbore. This concentration ultimately causes bridging and a rise in pressure—a dreaded screenout. Enter elastic fluids, gracefully dodging dilatancy woes as sand and fluid march forward in unison.
