Diacel® LWL Powder is a versatile cement fluid-loss and retarder additive suitable for a wide temperature range. This powdered additive is dry blended with the cement powder before preparing the cement slurry. This powder serves as a bi-functional additive, effectively functioning both as a retarder and fluid-loss control agent. Its dual functionality makes it an essential component in cement formulations, ensuring controlled setting times and mitigating fluid loss during well operations. Ideal for various industrial applications, It plays a crucial role in optimizing cement performance in diverse temperature conditions.

    Product Applications
    • Diacel® LWL Powder can be used as a retarder on wells with bottom hole circulating temperatures (BHCT) of 150°F to 250°F.
    • When used as a retarder, Diacel® LWL Powder Cement Fluid-Loss / Retarder Additive provides the additional benefit of improving the performance of other fluid - loss control agents.
    • Diacel® LWL Powder can be used at BHCT less than 150°F by the addition of accelerators.
    • At BHCT between 175°F to 225°F, Diacel® LWL Powder Cement Fluid-Loss / Retarder Additive can be used both as a retarder and fluid-loss control agent.
    • Above 225°F, Diacel® LWL Powder Cement Fluid-Loss / Retarder Additive is used primarily as a fluid-loss control agent.
    • The fluid-loss control performance of Diacel® LWL Powder Cement Fluid-Loss / Retarder Additive is improved when used in conjunction with dispersants and most retarders.
    • Application area includes all API classes of cement and freshwater, saltwater or seawater slurries
