Riteks THIX-C2 – Thixotropic Additive

Riteks THIX-C2 is a thixotropic additive that controls free water, promote early strength development, prevent cement fallback, and control fluid migration during primary cementing applications. Riteks THIX-C2 provides very low loading levels as well as improvements with fluid properties and strengths in water extended slurries, as well as fit-for-purpose cement designs when ‘quick set’ cement is needed, i.e. Squeeze Jobs, Plugs, & Water Shutoff.

Features and Benefits

  • Allow slurry properties such as transition times and gelation
  • Helps slurries develop gel strength quickly
  • Reduces job costs by reducing waiting-on-cement time and the need for fluid-loss additives
  • Offers an economical alternative to gypsum in this application
