Cross-linkers

  • WGXL-10.1 - borate cross-linker with alkaline buffer

    WGXL–10.1 is a highly effective and economic borate cross-linker that does not require buffer. Used in fracturing fluids based on guar, hydroxypropylguar and other derivatives. It does not require additives for adjusting of pH level, thereby providing economy and ease of use in situations requiring the use of an instant borate cross-linker.

  • WGXL-8.1 - borate cross-linker

    WGXL-8.1 is a highly efficient and economical cross-linker based on a weak inorganic acid. Used in fracturing fluids based on guar, hydroxypropyl guar and other derivatives. It does not require additives to adjust the pH level, thus ensuring cost-effectiveness and ease of use. It is used in the oil industry to perform hydraulic fracturing operations and other processes in order to increase oil recovery

  • WGXL-8.2 - instant-acting borate cross-linker

    WGXL-8.2 - the instant-acting cross-linker is a water-based borate compound solution. The cross-linker WGXL-8.2 additionally contains a gel stabilizer and a rheology modifier, which ensures the formation of cross-linked gels with improved shear characteristics. The main advantage of WGXL-8.2 is ability to use it at low temperatures from 5 to 50 ºС. It is also recommended to use in conjunction with the DBXL-90 cross-linker at higher temperatures.

  • WGXL-9.1 - borate cross-linker with alkaline buffer

    WGXL-9.1 -the instant cross-linker is a water-based borate compound solution. The cross-linker WGXL-9.1 additionally contains a gel stabilizer and a rheology modifier, which ensures the formation of cross-linked gels with improved shear characteristics. WGXL-9.1 can be used in conjunction with the DBXL-90 delayed cross-linker to control the cross-linking rate and improve the rheological characteristics of cross-linked gels depending on the formation conditions.

  • DBXL-90 / DBXL-301 - delayed borate cross-linker

    DBXL-90 / DBXL-301 are delayed borated cross-linkers, which provide cross-linking of guar-based fracturing fluids.
    DBXL-90 / DBXL-301 have a delayed cross-linking effect, maintaining the pH of the cross-linked gel. The base time of cross-linking depends on the pH values and temperature of the fracturing fluid on a polymer base, as well as on the amount of the cross-linker used. By varying these indicators, one can further increase the time of gel formation.
