Serious question, has anyone else tried that new polymer slurry additive?
I was sure it was just marketing fluff, but we ran a test on a tricky silt job in Mobile last month. It cut our pump clogging by half, which I did NOT expect. What other additives have you guys found that actually work?

My buddy out in West Texas swears by this cellulose fiber mix for their frac sand. He said it was like night and day on dust control, way better than the old soap-based stuff they used. They were losing a ton of product just to the wind before. I mean, idk if that's the same kind of job you're doing, but he was really surprised it worked as well as it did. Maybe it's just me but sometimes the simple solutions get overlooked.

Wonder if the cellulose helps with the sand's flow rate too, not just the dust.
