OILFIELD CHEMICALS
RiForce™ SFA-2
High PAI Compressive Additive
JUMP TO
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
RiForce™ SFA-2, Riteks Compressive Strength Enhancer, is a versatile additive designed to increase the compressive strength of oilfield cement systems. Unlike traditional strength enhancers that are incorporated directly into cement blends, RiForce™ SFA-2 functions as a true additive, allowing it to be easily included during slurry design. When added at concentrations between 3% and 10% BWOC, RiForce™ SFA-2 reacts with the free lime produced during cement hydration to form additional cementitious material. This reaction significantly boosts compressive strength, making RiForce™ SFA-2 especially effective in water-extended slurries and in regulatory environments where high strength is a priority.
Other Names & Identifiers
- Supplementary Cementitious Material (SCM)
- Lightweight Cementing Additive
- Compressive Strength Enhancer
- Extender
- Permeability Reducer
Common Challenges
- Weight On Cement
- Lightweight (Water Extended)
- Portland Reduction (Green/Geopolymer)
- Poor Strength Development
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
APPLICATIONS
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITSRiForce™ SFA-2 is ideal for primary cementing applications where improved compressive strength is required to meet operational or regulatory demands. Its effectiveness in water-extended slurries makes it especially valuable in wells where density reduction is required but strength retention must be maintained.
