SSR-21

Semi-Synthetic Low-Temp Retarder
JUMP TO

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SSR-21 is a semi-synthetic low-temperature retarder engineered to provide reliable and cost-effective set-time control in cementing operations ranging from 100°F (38°C) to 220°F+ (105°C). Developed by the Riteks R&D laboratory, this additive is designed to function as a single, versatile retarder across a broad low-to-mid temperature window, reducing the need for multiple products. SSR-21 delivers predictable performance, simplified slurry design, and consistent results, making it an efficient solution for a wide variety of cementing applications.
