Riteks RFL-4 is a fluid loss additive that consistently  improves viscosity, water retention, and suspension. Lead Cements under 13 ppg commonly use Riteks RFL-4 which helps maintain rheological hierarchy in thin lightweight cement slurries.

Riteks RFL-4 is ideal for circulating long columns of cement slurry on primary casing jobs and for deep liner cementing. It helps fluidity maintenance, premature dehydration elimination, and annular bridging prevention. Most additives used in cementing are compatible with Riteks RFL-4 and provides good frictional properties during displacement.

Features and Benefits

• Controls fluid loss of cement from 80 to 360 F BHCT
• Offers better control of slurry downhole by helping eliminating premature dehydration
• Functions effectively in slurries containing up to 18% NaCl of 5% KCl
• Helps protect water sensitive shales and can reduce premature bridging in annuli, which may be caused by dehdration
• Can reduce slurry water losses, thus maintaining more consistent viscosities and circulating pressures
• Helps control gas leakage while cementing is setting
• Helps reduce premature dehydration in tubing and casing while perforations are squeezed
