Cement Retarders

PETROCHEM R Series conventional retarders and SR Series synthetic cement retarders are formulated to control cement hydration and extend thickening time during oilwell cementing operations.


Available in powder and liquid formulations, these additives are designed to maintain slurry pumpability and provide dosage dependent thickening time control across low to high temperature and HPHT cementing applications.
