*The new ENVIRO FR 2.25 is on the left, and the standard FR is on the right. As can be seen in the comparison above, the standard FR after 10 seconds is still clumpy, while the new ENVIRO FR 2.25 is in solution and clear
*Our unique patented product beginning point (pour 5.0). It has an extremely long polyacrylamide polymer chain. The pictures show the viscosity it is and how long the polymer chains are.
Using our state-of-the-art manufacturing process combined with Nano Surfactant Technology, our finished product (see above at right) is environmentally and shale formation- friendly. Enviro FR 2.25 is a free-flowing, easy-to-use friction reducer.
ENVIRO FR 2.25 sets a new benchmark in hydraulic fracturing with its instant hydration capability. When mixed with water, it dissolves rapidly, leaving no clumps just a clear, uniform solution ready for immediate use. This swift action reduces preparation time, boosts efficiency, and ensures a seamless fracturing process, getting operations up and running without delay.

Our goal with friction reducers like ENVIRO FR 2.25 is to achieve a laminar flow* that smoothly carries a mix of sand and water. We target fluid velocities ranging from 65 to 105 Feet Per Second (FPS), significantly exceeding the typical pipe design velocities of 4 to 8 FPS used in project engineering. The smoother the flow we can maintain, the greater the volume of proppant (sand) and water that can be transported to the intended fracture zones. Ultimately, our aim is to maximize the quantity of proppant deposited into the fractures rapidly, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the hydraulic fracturing process.
*Laminar flow is characterized by smooth and orderly fluid motion in parallel layers, with little to no mixing be tween them, resulting in minimal resistance.
