Being the biggest supplier of natural guar gum and derivatives in the world, Economy Polymers & Chemicals also produces polyacrylamide-based synthetic friction reducers and Viscosifying agents.
These two complementarily functional polymers, along with other related oilfield products, have made us a one-stop-shop for various applications, including hydraulic fracturing, drilling, cementing and water treatment.
Economy Polymers & Chemicals has developed a very modern and self-reliant integrated process, with a plant design that is able to ensure its customers a continuous supply of manufactured polymers.
Located in Port Lavaca TX, Calhoun Chemical has a state-of-art chemical manufacturing facility dedicated to FR production. We proudly supply proprietary high viscosity FR (Ecoslick A100HV) as well as high performance FR for low brines (Ecoslick A100).
