Polyglycolic Acid(PGA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer with high mechanical properties. It is gaining popularity in hydraulic fracking industry as frac plug components, frac balls and divertors with its excellent  combination of mechanical strength and biodegradability. Compared with traditional dissolvable metal alloy, TecoMax™ PGA has more predictable degradability independent on ionic species, salinity level, chloride level or chemicals but soley temperature. It completely eliminates milling out process during completion which reduces both the operational cost and risks.
