CT CRL 101 CROSS LINKER FOR ACID

Description

CT CRL 101 is a zirconate based cross-linker used to produce cross-linked gels with derivative guar carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl-guar (CMHPG) polymers. An external buffer targets optimal Ph windows (4.0-4.5) in which zirconate species, responsible for bonding with CMHPG, are at the highest concentration. Gel viscosity builds-up rapidly (in seconds) with zirconate cross-linker creating a robust fracturing fluid with excellent rheological properties.

Applications:

CT CRL 101 is used as a cross-linker with CMHPG water-based system: - Optimum XCM-1 (regular zirconate system, CMHPG based)

Advantages:

• Cost-effective method of increasing gel viscosity

• Effective cross-linking with CMHPG polymers

• pH adjustment required for immediate cross-linking

• Functional over broad temperature range 20-105°C

• Zirconate cross-linked gels can be energized and foamed with CO2 and N2.
