GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Riteks RCD-3 – Red Dispersant is a highly effective water-soluable polymer dispersant used in normal to high density, low fluid loss slurries that can be easily pumped in turbulent flow. This dispersant was developed to improve certain performance characteristics associated with conventional additives. Riteks RCD-3 – Red Dispersant can be used in fresh, salt, and salt-saturated slurries.

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITSUsed at the recommended levels of 0.1 to 1% by weight of cement, Riteks RCD-3 – Red Dispersant can be used in:
- Primary and remedial cementing operations
- High-density and/or low fluid loss slurries
- Salt and salt-saturated slurries
- Typical temperature ranges of 40°F to 400°F (4°C to 204°C) BHCT
FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- Provides turbulent flow properties, improving mud cleanup, and cement bonding
- Facilitates mixing of high-density, reduced-water slurries
- Reduces mixing and final slurry viscosity
- Provides less retardation than conventional dispersants, resulting in earlier strength development
- Inhibits viscosifying effects caused by some fluid loss and gas control additives
- Improves annular displacement, reducing cement contamination
- Improves the performance of gas control and fluid loss additives
- Improves bonding to the formation and pipe
- Compatible with virtually all API, ASTM, and pozzolan cements, and most Riteks cement additives
