ProLite TDS

USCeramics ProLite is an American-made, kaolin-based lightweight ceramic proppant available in three mesh sizes (20/40, 30/50, 40/70) for use in unconventional oil and gas wells. It is an economical proppant that provides long-term conductivity and permeability even under high closure stresses according to third party testing. The document provides specifications on its physical properties and sieve analysis as well as performance data on long-term conductivity and permeability compared to closure stress.
