Polymer Coating over Solid Particles with In Situ Thermal Curing
Abstract
Solid particles coated by cross-linked polymer layers find applications in many areas, including hydraulic fracturing operations. In this study, a hot-melt resin coating process for solid particles is developed and optimized for hydraulic fracturing applications. Phenolic resin is used to coat the particles above its melting point and is subsequently cured in situ by hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). The coating quality is then characterized by …
