Riteks RCD-3 – Saltwater Tolerant Dispersant

Riteks RCD-3 is a highly effective water-soluble 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 performance characteristics in cement slurries for workability, and is highly effective in salt and salt-saturated slurries.

Features and 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
