Oxane Materials, Inc. is an energy-focused nanoproducts company. The firm manufactures OxFracTM, a highly conductive, ultralight ceramic proppant.

OxFracTM is designed to increase effective fracture length, enhance control over created fracture geometry, and reduce the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing. Commercially available in 2009, modeling suggests OxFracTM could increase initial production by up to 100 percent and shallow production decline by up to 15 percent, improving total recovery while reducing total well cost per play.

Follow-on products include sour gas abatement technologies, high temperature stable PEM fuel cell membranes, and low-density composite agents.
