AGA-440

Gelling Agents (AGA®) — Breakers

AGA-440, is a solid delayed breaker designed for use in water based fracturing fluids. AGA-440 provides a slow release of an oxidizing agent to provide a controlled break for fracturing fluids made from guar or guar derivatives including HPG and CMHPG. AGA-440 is designed to work in applications with fluid temperatures that range from 140 °F to 190 °F. Since AGA-440 releases slowly into the fracturing fluid, higher concentrations can be used without compromising fluid viscosity during proppant placement. The slow release rate of breaker also reduces the risk of premature gel breaks, a common problem when using conventional oxidizing breakers. Since AGA-440 is a solid, the breaker is not as likely to be lost due to leak-off.
