Unlike traditional composite frac balls, there is no well defined 2-dimension ply structure that can create a failure mode along a shear plane as illustrated in the model above.  In addition to isotropic material characteristics as a result of multiple fiber orientations, the patent pending coreless filament winding, ultra-high compression molding of the pre-form from which the ball is produced dramatically reduces the void content compared to traditional composite processing techniques. The absence of voids is evidenced from the translucent appearance of the product. The end result being a ball with higher, more consistent performance in extreme conditions and independent orientation.

The FWC Composite Frac Ball has been tested and certified for pressure holding capability of 10,000 PSI at 350° F by a third party independent lab.  Custom testing for customer specifications and fixturing at other temperatures and pressures is available.  All FWC Composite Frac Balls are inspected for dimension, surface finish, and process conformance prior to shipment.  Third party test reports available upon request. Product traceability per ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D quality standard.

FWC-series Composite Frac Balls are engineered to overcome issues related to typical composite frac ball construction.  Utilizing a patent-pending process and design, FWC-series Composite Frac Balls maintain performance regardless of the orientation of the ball on the ball seat. Continuous fiber reinforcement in multiple orientations allow the ball to provide similar performance in all orientations.
