Microfume 106 UM additive can be used in wells with bottom hole circulating temperatures (BHCTs) between 50°F to 500°F (10°C to 260°C). This product also imparts thixotropy to some cement slurries, as it has a viscosifying effect in most compositions. This additive is frequently used with Riteks Dispersant RCD-2 or Dispersant RCD-3.
Because Microfume 106 UM imparts thixotropy to the slurry, it can help control lost circulation and gas migration. In addition, this product can provide a degree of fluid-loss control and can act as a low-temperature accelerator for saturated salt slurries.
