Cement Retarders

 Cement Retarders are used to lengthen the time that slurry can be pumped or remains fluid so that other operations (such as pulling pipe after spotting a cement plug) can be performed. They are required at elevated temperatures or when large volumes of slurry require a long time to pump at lower temperatures. Petrochem's oil and gas cement retarders are created to keep cement slurries pourable for extended periods of time.
