RFL-70X is a cementing additive that controls flow and fluid loss properties at bottom-hole circulating temperatures up to 210°F (99°C). Typical loading levels of up to 1 percent is normally sufficient at temperatures between 75°F and 200°F (24°C to 93°C) to help reduce fluid loss to 50cc. At temperatures up to 350°F (177°C), this additive can also provide free water control, chemical resistance, shear bonding properties, and thermal shock reduction.
Features and Benefits
- Provides a slight increase to cement viscosity and gel strength, which helps reduce free water, settling, and sedimentation
- Helps prevent fluid loss and gas migration in most API and lightweight commercial cements
- Little to no effect exhibited on low temperature cement retardation
- Improved bonding can be achieved with low loadings
- Provides improvements to cement with enhancing durability, as well as improves bond strength and sheer bond strength for the life of the well
- Consequently, shear bonds have an increased resistance to thermal cycling
- Improvement to cement flexural strength
- Cement slurries containing RFL-70X are more resistant to acids and brines
