True North™ L proppants are an innovative curable resin coated sand available in a 20/40 mesh size. The True North L resin system is specifically designed for low temperature reservoirs. Incorporating Hexion's latest Stress Bond™ technology, the proppant bonds in the fracture with closure stress, providing high conductivity and proppant flowback control. Additionally, the resin system reduces dust generation during the pneumatic transfer* and conveying process, which helps improve health and safety on location.
