Encapsulated Gel Breaker

In the USA, UAE, Iran Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other oil producing areas, several hundred chemical compounds are used in hydraulic fracturing also called fracking, fracing or frac. In some areas like UK only ‘Non-Hazardous’ chemicals are permitted for fracturing fluids by the Environment Agency. All chemicals have to be declared publicly and increasingly, food additive based chemicals are available to allow fracking to take place safely.

Mubychem is an internationally preferred source for Stimulation Chemicals and Hydraulic Fracturing Chemicals. We serve various oil and shale gas producing countries like USA UAE, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UK, Europe India etc. We are never too far from your well-site with multiple 24/7 company owned or rented warehouses in the India, USA and across the globe. With customers in several countries, we sell almost all the fracturing chemicals.

Applications:
Oil field – Oxidizing Gelbreaker for Guar slurries used in fracturing. In fracking or frac jobs, after proppant is placed, fluid viscosity needs to be reduced.  All Guar based systems can be broken using oxidizing breakers. GB-2 generates free radicals of oxygen to efficiently oxidize and break all types of guar gels.
Manufacturing – Polymerization initiator.
Water Treatment.

Coated or Encapsulate Ammonium Persulfate, based coated chemical to be active at 140F or 60C delayed release gel breaker is used for breaking gel up to temperatures of 200F or a little more.
Coated or Encapsulate Potassium Persulfate based coated chemical to be active at 195F or 90C called high temperature delayed release gel breaker is used when significantly higher down-hole temperatures up to 300F or 150C are expected.
Coated or Encapsulated Sodium Bromate based gel breaker for very high temperatures. It will not be active up to 240F or 115C and is suggested for use at 280F to 330F or 138C to 165C.

Ammonium Persulfate Encap:
It is a salt manufactured by electrolyzing Ammonia and Sulfuric Acid in a palladium cell. We offer both immediate release and encapsulated delayed release version.

Encap Ammonium Persulfate is generally demanded for 3 different temperature ranges.
LT Encapsulated Breaker for downhole temperature of 100F (38C) to 120F (49C). This will have a coating of about 10.5 to 12.5% and active matter about 87 to 89%.
MT Encapsulated Breaker for for downhole temperature of 120F (49C) to 140F (60C). This will have a coating of about 13 to 16% and active matter about 83 to 86%.
HT Encapsulated Breaker for for downhole temperature of 140F (60C) to 200F (93C). This will have a coating of about 16.5 to 23% and active matter about 76 to 78%.

We offer controlled release temperature dependent material having specifications as under:

Active matter: 90% to 60% (as per low medium & heavy coating)
Mesh size: 15-40mesh
Specific Gravity: Approximate 1.75

Route of Action: Free radical generation starts upon dissolution is water and is accelerated at fluid temperatures of 120F or say 50C and above. It can be used up to fluid temperatures of 200F or say 95C.
