Abstract: Coated proppant particles are prepared by coating the particles with at least one polyisocyanate, and at least one urethane catalyst, and starch is present during at least part of the curing step. The starch becomes incorporated into in at least a portion of the cured coating. The coating cures rapidly at moderate temperatures, and bonds to itself well under conditions of heat and pressure as are experienced by the particles in subterranean formations.
