CARBO Ceramics

High-performance, intermediate-density ceramic grinding media (sizes 20-60mm; apparent density 3.0-3.6 g/cm3) – CARBOGRIND XT high-performance, intermediate-density ceramic grinding media is engineered to provide unmatched economic and performance advantages in fine-grinding applications for soft minerals. The sintering process used in manufacturing results in superior strength and wear resistance with consistent particle size and shape. Features: superior strength and hardness; uniform size and shape with excellent sphericity; lower density than alternatives such as steel or iron balls; chemically inert and environmentally friendly. Benefits: high grind efficiency; longer product life cycle; decreases product contamination; reduces equipment wear and maintenance costs; less cost per volume than high-density alternatives. Applications: ball mills, scrubbers, or pebble mills; mining; industrial minerals; industrial ceramics; sanitary ceramics.

Ultra high-performance, intermediate-density, rolled ceramic grinding media (sizes 2.0-10.0mm; apparent density 3.4-3.8 g/cm3) – CARBOGRIND ZIRPLUS ultra high-performance, intermediate-density, rolled ceramic grinding media is engineered to provide unmatched economic and performance advantages in ultra-fine grinding of hard minerals. The rolled manufacturing process results in superior strength and wear resistance with consistent particle size and shape. Features: superior strength and hardness; near-perfect spherical shape; lower density than alternatives such as steel or iron balls; exceptionally low internal porosity; chemically inert and environmentally friendly; light color with high brightness. Benefits: high grind efficiency; longer product life cycle; decreases product contamination; reduces equipment wear and maintenance costs; requires less energy than steel or iron balls. Applications: vertical and horizontal mills; mining; industrial minerals; paints and pigments.

High-density sintered bauxite proppant – CARBOHSP is the original high-density sintered bauxite proppant, with enhanced performance to maintain high fracture conductivity in deep hot, high-stress downhole environments. Features: high strength and conductivity for use in deepest wells; excellent roundness and sphericity; available in four sizes-12/18, 16/30, 20/40, and 30/60. Benefits: maintains high fracture conductivity in deep, high-temperature, and similarly harsh downhole environments; minimizes abrasion characteristics that cause wear on production and pumping equipment.

Low-density, high-transport ceramic proppant – CARBOHYDROPROP low-density, high-transport ceramic proppant was engineered for fracturing applications such as slickwater. It offers 40% to 100% greater conductivity than sand-based products, delivering higher value at a similar cost structure-a superior combination of conductivity, ease of placement, and cost competitiveness. Features: ideal for slickwater fracturing applications; higher thermal stability than sand or resin-coated sand; 40/80 mesh provides similar transport characteristics to 40/70 sands. Benefits: best combination of proppant transport and conductivity on the market; priced similarly to resin-coated sand for optimum value; higher conductivity-40% more conductivity than higher priced 40/70 premium resin-coated sand; increased productivity-more than twice the conductivity of standard 40/70 resin-coated sand or white sand.

High-performance, low-density ceramic proppant – CARBOLITE high-performance, low-density ceramic proppant technology has a bulk density and specific gravity similar to sand, yet delivers higher conductivity and flow capacity to enhance production and your estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). CARBOLITE is particularly effective for enhanced production rates in moderate-depth oil wells. Features: bulk density and specific gravity similar to sand; available in five closely sieved standard sizes-12/18, 16/20, 20/40, 30/50, and 40/70. Benefits: the ideal high-performance proppant in oil and gas wells; high flow capacity for enhanced production rates; provides highest fracture conductivity in moderate-depth wells.
