Riteks RCR-200 is a organic low temperature retarder that can be used to retard all API classes of cement as well as pozz cements. Riteks RCR-200 is effective in wells with bottom-hole circulating temperatures (BHCT's) up to 220°F (105°C). It can also withstand static temperatures up to 260°F (126.7°C). Riteks RCR-200 is particularly useful in cements containing high gel percentages, and increased concentrations of Riteks RCR-200 enhance the predictability of cement thickening times.
