CARBOBOND LITE
The higher-strength CARBOBOND LITE resin-coated low-density, high-performance ceramic proppant is effective at greater well depths, temperatures and stresses than any comparable premium lightweight ceramic proppant. CARBOBOND LITE also requires 17% less proppant by weight than any resin-coated intermediate-density ceramic proppant. CARBOBOND LITE is designed with high cyclic loading tolerance, while the bonded proppant pack reduces the effective stresses encountered at deeper depths
Benefits
Why Choose
CARBOBOND LITE

Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about
CARBOBOND LITE
-
What is CARBOBOND® LITE used for?
CARBOBOND LITE is a lightweight resin-coated ceramic proppant designed to enhance fracture conductivity and minimize proppant flowback.
-
How does the resin coating improve performance?
The resin coating bonds the proppant grains, stabilizing the pack and preventing displacement during production.
-
What type of reservoirs benefit most from CARBOBOND LITE?
It is ideal for low-pressure and unconsolidated reservoirs where lightweight, stable proppants are needed.
-
How does it compare to uncoated proppants?
CARBOBOND LITE provides greater stability and flowback control, improving well performance and reducing maintenance.
-
Is it environmentally safe?
Yes, CARBOBOND LITE is chemically inert and designed for safe, sustainable use.
-
Is it compatible with different fracturing fluids?
Yes, it works with a variety of fracturing fluids, ensuring flexible operations.
-
Can it reduce operational costs?
Yes, its durability and flowback control reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
